04The Spread: Best vs Cheapest Yard
The distance between the best- and lowest-paying mandi is the day's real opportunity for Potato.

05How Today Compares to the 90-Day Trend
Over the last 90 days, Potato prices at Sambhal APMC ranged between ₹400 and ₹700, with the average around ₹573. Comparing today against this recent band helps separate a genuine trend from a short-lived, selective-buying spike.
