Ahmedabad, June 15 (Commodities Control): Today in Gujarat, coriander prices rose by Rs 10-15 per 20 kg due to increased demand at lower prices, spurred by a significant reduction in arrivals. Traders report that the coriander supply has drastically decreased, and with Gondal Mandi and Rajkot Mandi set to close for two days in the next three days, market activity today further supported the price rise.
Traders note that Gondal Mandi will be closed for three days due to the Sunday holiday and Bakrid. Rajkot Mandi will close on Sunday for the holiday and on Monday for Bhim Agiyaras. Most mandis in Saurashtra will also remain closed on Monday.
