04The Spread: Best vs Cheapest Yard
How far apart are the top and bottom yards today? That spread tells you how much choosing the right market is worth.
A spread of ₹650 (17.3%) across reporting yards means a seller near a higher-paying mandi can realise meaningfully more — provided cartage and grading don't eat the difference.
