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 ₹2,100 (28.0%) across reporting yards means a seller near a higher-paying mandi can realise meaningfully more — provided cartage and grading don't eat the difference.

Over the past week, Yam(Ratalu) prices at Ahmedabad APMC ranged between ₹6,000 and ₹17,000, with the average around ₹9,642. A rate sitting near the top of this range points to firm demand, while a move toward the lower band suggests easing pressure.
