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 ₹5,000 (18.5%) 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 two weeks, Lemon prices at Malerkotla APMC ranged between ₹3,000 and ₹10,000, with the average around ₹7,056.
