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.

Over the last 30 days, Groundnut prices at Polur(Uzhavar Sandhai ) APMC ranged between ₹5,000 and ₹8,000, with the average around ₹5,641. Comparing today against this recent band helps separate a genuine trend from a short-lived, selective-buying spike.
