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 ₹1,250 (26.3%) 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 2-Week Trend
Over the last two weeks, Papaya prices at Malout APMC ranged between ₹1,500 and ₹3,000, with the average around ₹2,117. A rate sitting near the top of this range points to firm demand, while a move toward the lower band suggests easing pressure.
