Ahmedabad, March 16 (Commodities Control): Coriander prices in Gujarat experienced an increase of Rs 15-20 per 20 kg today, driven by increased purchasing activity at lower prices. The market saw around 30,000 bags of fresh coriander arriving, with pending stocks in several mandis across Saurashtra region.
New arrivals have been halted in key mandis including Rajkot, Jamjodhpur, Gondal, and Jamnagar, with operations expected to remain closed until Monday. Given the current circumstances, significant movements in the market are unlikely in the near term.
Today, around 30,000 bags of coriander, each weighing 40 kg, arrived in Gujarat. Prices saw improvement due to demand ahead of arrivals, averaging at Rs 1,390-1,890 per 20 kg.
