Low Production and Stock Levels Influence Celery Prices
Celery production has been weak, leading to low stock levels in the markets. This scarcity, combined with increased consumption, suggests that celery prices are likely to rise. Demand for celery is expected to increase in winter.
Stockists currently have limited celery stock, and the new crop is expected in January-February. Traditionally, celery sales surge after Diwali. However, adverse weather conditions have recently affected its prices, which have fallen over the last 15 days. Currently, celery prices range from $1,80 to $2,64 per kg. The humid heat has deterred customers from visiting the market, significantly impacting sales. Additionally, rain and high temperatures have also played a role in reducing market attendance.
Production Regions and Growing Global Demand
Celery is produced in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh. Sowing occurs in August and completes by the first week of September. Celery is valuable for making medicines, snacks, and anti-gas remedies in homes. Besides domestic consumption, celery is imported from Pakistan and has a growing demand among Indians living abroad. Currently, international demand for celery is rising significantly.
Overall, weak production and increased consumption are driving low stock levels, suggesting a potential price increase for celery. With the new crop expected in January-February and rising winter demand, market conditions point to higher prices in the coming months.
