Ahmedabad, January 20 (CommoditiesControl): The cumin market in Gujarat remained stable today, with prices showing no significant changes due to a lack of demand. Traders pointed out that the easy availability of the required quantity of goods has led to a decrease in purchases from stockists. With the arrival of new cumin expected to begin in about two months, the market is waiting to see if any export trade picks up, which could provide some support.
Today, around 5,000 bags, each bag weighing 55 kg, of cumin arrived at the Unjha mandi. The price for rough cumin ranged between Rs 4000 and Rs 4100 per 20 kg, while the best quality cumin was priced between Rs 4150 and Rs 4250 per 20 kg. Bombay Bold cumin saw prices between Rs 4300 and Rs 4350 per 20 kg. In total, around 14,000 bags of cumin arrived across Gujarat today.
In specific markets, Gondal Mandi saw an arrival of 1,553 bags, with trading occurring between Rs 4260 and Rs 4450 per 20 kg. Rajkot Mandi received around 2,200 bags, with prices ranging from Rs 4000 to Rs 4295 per 20 kg.
Traders are hopeful that if export demand picks up, it could provide some support to the cumin market. However, in the absence of such demand, prices are expected to remain stable in the short term.
