💡 Arbitrage Opportunities

There is an arbitrage opportunity of ₹90–₹100 per quintal between UP and Punjab mandis.
For example:

• Buying wheat in Kanpur (₹2,450) and transporting it to Amritsar (₹2,540–₹2,610) can yield profit margins if transport and logistics costs are under ₹50 per quintal.

• Traders with efficient supply chains can capitalize on these price spreads, especially during peak trading weeks.

However, logistics feasibility, storage, and local demand conditions should always be factored in before executing arbitrage moves.
