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 ₹1,500 (25.0%) 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 90-Day Trend
Over the last 90 days, Potato prices at Bachaibari APMC ranged between ₹1,000 and ₹1,400, with the average around ₹1,283. When today's rate approaches or exceeds the recent high, it signals strong structural demand. Consistent performance near the upper band reinforces the mandi's credibility as a leading hub.
