Ahmedabad, May 27 (CommoditiesControl): The coriander market has experienced a decline in arrivals, though prices remain stable due to lack of demand. Following recent price improvements, farmers had increased their sales, but the subsequent rise in arrivals has stabilized the market. Today, Saurashtra witnessed coriander arrival of around 11,500 sacks, each sack weighing 40 kg, while the total arrival from the entire state reached around 15,000 sacks. Traders attribute the stable prices to low local and export demand.
With existing stocks still ample, farmers and stockists are likely to increase sales if prices improve in the coming days. Currently, the average price of coriander is between Rs 1370 and Rs 1570 per 20 kg.
In Gondal Mandi, no new arrivals were reported today, but 10,380 pending bags were traded at prices ranging from Rs 1501 to Rs 1851.
