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 ₹6,130 (232.5%) 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 30 days, Maize prices at Powayan APMC ranged between ₹1,500 and ₹2,700, with the average around ₹1,787. Comparing today against this recent band helps separate a genuine trend from a short-lived, selective-buying spike.
