Interpretation

Use price position with context

How to read this comparison

Where does the exporter sit in the price range?

India is compared with each market's own median rather than a single global average. A below-median position can indicate a lower observed unit value, while an above-median position indicates a higher one. Neither position alone establishes profitability.
