Ota · Cucumber · 2026-06-30
The Ota cucumber row is a useful unit-comparison trap: its raw quote string differs from the ume rows, so comparing the visible yen numbers as if they shared a standard weight would be misleading.
A three-point quotation
The source gives ¥2,808 high, ¥1,836 middle and ¥1,080 low, with origin label 群馬 and raw quote-unit string “5”. The date is 30 June 2026 and the method is negotiated sales. Neither the meaning of “5” nor a per-kilogram rate is established in the accepted extract.

What can be calculated
The high-to-low difference is ¥1,728 within this row’s own quotation basis. That arithmetic does not require guessing a weight. Cross-product comparisons with ume need compatible unit definitions and grading context; smaller yen figures alone do not establish cheaper produce.

Why the middle is not a universal average
The source’s middle-price field is preserved as a named field. It is not renamed “average”, and the catalogue has no transaction distribution from which to calculate one. If analysing trends later, keep market, date, origin, method and unit definition consistent rather than comparing isolated card titles.
