The distance between the best- and lowest-paying mandi is the day's real opportunity for Garlic.

Over the last 90 days, Garlic prices at Vellore APMC ranged between ₹16,000 and ₹22,000, with the average around ₹20,028. A rate sitting near the top of this range points to firm demand, while a move toward the lower band suggests easing pressure.
