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 ₹3,500 (13.2%) 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 90 days, Lemon prices at Mettupalayam(Uzhavar Sandhai ) APMC ranged between ₹4,500 and ₹25,000, with the average around ₹11,094. Comparing today against this recent band helps separate a genuine trend from a short-lived, selective-buying spike.
