02How Strong Is Today's Rate, Really
Here's where today's Guar rate lands within its recent low-to-high range.
Today's rate is about 52.8% above the period average and right at the period high. A price holding this high in the range usually points to firm structural demand rather than a one-off bid.
03How Other Mandis Compare Today
Here's how Guar rates stacked up across reporting markets on 20 Aug 2026. A clear leader usually anchors price expectations across nearby mandis.
| Mandi | Price (₹ / quintal) |
|---|---|
| 1 Damnagar APMC Leader | ₹9,000 |
| 2 Hansi APMC | ₹5,500 |
| 3 Pune(Moshi) APMC | ₹5,500 |
| 4 Ratnagiri (Nachane) APMC | ₹5,000 |
04The Spread: Best vs Cheapest Yard
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 ₹4,000 (80.0%) across reporting yards means a seller near a higher-paying mandi can realise meaningfully more — provided cartage and grading don't eat the difference.
05How Today Compares to the 30-Day Trend
Over the last 30 days, Guar prices at Damnagar APMC ranged between ₹2,500 and ₹9,000, with the average around ₹5,890. Comparing today against this recent band helps separate a genuine trend from a short-lived, selective-buying spike.
