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 ₹4,199 (58.7%) 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 30 days, Linseed prices at Agar APMC ranged between ₹6,000 and ₹9,700, with the average around ₹8,588. Comparing today against this recent band helps separate a genuine trend from a short-lived, selective-buying spike.
