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 (22.7%) 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, Potato prices at Daunagar APMC ranged between ₹16 and ₹2,000, with the average around ₹1,255. Comparing today against this recent band helps separate a genuine trend from a short-lived, selective-buying spike.
