Ahmedabad, April 16 (CommoditiesControl): Coriander selling in Gujarat continues to decrease, leading to stable prices in the state's markets. Although new arrivals have reduced in Gondal Mandi, the overall coriander arrival across all mandis stood today at 15,000 bags.
Traders suggest that the peak season for coriander in Gujarat is nearing completion, signaling a gradual decrease in arrivals. Export activity for coriander remains subdued, and stockists are showing little interest in stocking at present.
