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 ₹900 (18.0%) 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 4-Day Trend
Over the last 4 days, Papaya prices at Bilaspur APMC ranged between ₹2,000 and ₹3,000, with the average around ₹2,600. Comparing today against this recent band helps separate a genuine trend from a short-lived, selective-buying spike.
