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 ₹3,400 (51.5%) 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 past week, Onion prices at Dhariwal APMC ranged between ₹1,750 and ₹1,960, with the average around ₹1,897.
