The gap between the day's dearest and cheapest market shows how wide the buying opportunity is — and whether it's worth carting produce further out.
A spread of ₹3,255 (33.4%) across reporting yards means a seller near a higher-paying mandi can realise meaningfully more — provided cartage and grading don't eat the difference.

Over the past week, Cotton prices at Rani APMC ranged between ₹8,330 and ₹9,290, with the average around ₹8,912.
