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 ₹5,000 (71.4%) across reporting yards means a seller near a higher-paying mandi can realise meaningfully more — provided cartage and grading don't eat the difference.
05How Today Compares to the This Week Trend
Over the past week, Onion prices at Jainagar APMC ranged between ₹1,220 and ₹5,000, with the average around ₹2,948. Comparing today against this recent band helps separate a genuine trend from a short-lived, selective-buying spike.
