04The Spread: Best vs Cheapest Yard
The distance between the best- and lowest-paying mandi is the day's real opportunity for Papaya.
A spread of ₹1,000 (20.0%) 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 This Week Trend
Over the past week, Papaya prices at Roorkee APMC ranged between ₹1,500 and ₹2,400, with the average around ₹1,900. A rate sitting near the top of this range points to firm demand, while a move toward the lower band suggests easing pressure.
