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 ₹5,500 (22.4%) 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 past week, Mushroom prices at Kathua (F&V) APMC ranged between ₹10,000 and ₹15,000, with the average around ₹12,333. Comparing today against this recent band helps separate a genuine trend from a short-lived, selective-buying spike.
