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 ₹4,257 (54.2%) 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 30 days, Mustard prices at Itarsi APMC ranged between ₹2,000 and ₹7,600, with the average around ₹6,671. A rate sitting near the top of this range points to firm demand, while a move toward the lower band suggests easing pressure.
