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 ₹3,000 (11.5%) 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 last 30 days, Garlic prices at Sirhind APMC ranged between ₹7,000 and ₹16,500, with the average around ₹11,750. A rate sitting near the top of this range points to firm demand, while a move toward the lower band suggests easing pressure.
