04The Spread: Best vs Cheapest Yard
The distance between the best- and lowest-paying mandi is the day's real opportunity for Garlic.

05How Today Compares to the 30-Day Trend
Over the last 30 days, Garlic prices at Shahabad APMC ranged between ₹2,000 and ₹14,000, with the average around ₹7,781. Comparing today against this recent band helps separate a genuine trend from a short-lived, selective-buying spike.

08What It Means If You're Selling
The day's best Garlic rate is a good benchmark, yet distance, grade and how many others arrive with the same crop can all move your final price.
09A Buyer's Angle
For buyers, a market that keeps leading on price tends to become the yardstick others quote against. It's worth tracking how arrivals and freight play out over the next few days.
