04The Spread: Best vs Cheapest Yard
The distance between the best- and lowest-paying mandi is the day's real opportunity for Lemon.

05How Today Compares to the 2-Week Trend
Over the last two weeks, Lemon prices at Mawana APMC ranged between ₹6,000 and ₹9,000, with the average around ₹7,266. Comparing today against this recent band helps separate a genuine trend from a short-lived, selective-buying spike.
