Ahmedabad, September 9 (CommoditiesControl): Despite a significant increase in cumin arrivals in Gujarat, prices have remained stable due to subdued demand. The market is currently dependent on future buying trends to determine price movements. There is no substantial selling pressure at present prices; however, if cumin prices exceed Rs 5500 per 20 kg, an increase in selling by farmers is anticipated.
Market discussions suggest that approximately 30% of the cumin stock is still held by farmers. This stock is mainly with stockists and larger farmers who are expected to release their holdings if prices rise. Currently, the cumin market lacks significant export activity, which, if it resumes, could provide additional support to prices.
Today, Unja Mandi saw the arrival of about 12,000 bags of cumin. The prices ranged from Rs 4250 to Rs 4400 per 20 kg for rough cumin, Rs 4700 to Rs 5000 per 20 kg for best quality, and Rs 5000 to Rs 5200 per 20 kg for Bombay Bold cumin.
In Rajkot Mandi, around 1500 bags were traded at prices ranging from Rs 4250 to Rs 4786 per 20 kg. Similarly, in Gondal Mandi, prices ranged from Rs 4521 to Rs 4851 per 20 kg with an arrival of 1090 bags.
The market outlook remains cautious with traders keeping an eye on future demand and potential export activity for any signs of price support.
