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 ₹6,196 (138.4%) 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 30-Day Trend
Over the last 30 days, Rice prices at Dasda APMC ranged between ₹3,200 and ₹3,400, with the average around ₹3,268. Comparing today against this recent band helps separate a genuine trend from a short-lived, selective-buying spike.
