Ahmedabad, December 11 (CommoditiesControl): The cumin market in Gujarat has remained stable for the past two days, with demand staying sluggish. The market saw a brief improvement of Rs 25-30 per 20 kg in the morning, but the momentum slowed by the afternoon.

The upcoming Ramzan demand remains a key factor that could influence market conditions. However, aside from this, there are no major drivers for a price rise at this moment.
