In a dramatic turn of events, coriander prices have surged sharply, sending ripples throughout the spice market. Today’s trading session saw coriander jump by about $38.55 per quintal, ignited by intense buying from oil extractors and persistent supply shortages. The coriander oil market was equally volatile, with prices doubling overnight—from $42.17 to an eye-popping $84.34 per 10 kg. Festival season demand and aggressive sourcing from processors have set the stage for further upheavals, especially with stocks running thin and quality buyers bidding up for limited lots. Market arrivals remained moderate, but that did little to cool the upward momentum.
Notably, quality coriander lots commanded prices between $38.55 and $45.78 per quintal in local markets, while top-grade lots fetched up to $83.13 per quintal elsewhere. Market observers warn that unless fresh arrivals pick up pace, the rally could continue over the coming weeks, especially as festive demand peaks. In this report, we delve into market drivers, trading recommendations, the latest price tables, fundamentals and weather outlooks that will shape the coriander market in the days ahead.

🌍 Supply & Demand
- Supply remains critically tight, with market arrivals at moderate levels and stocks reported to be significantly reduced.
- Demand is robust, particularly from oil extractors and processors sourcing ahead of festive season demand.
- Quality lots are seeing intense bidding, reflected in premium price ranges—$43.37–$74.70 per quintal for top-quality and $36.14–$83.13 for broader grades.
- Import interest remains steady, with Indian and Egyptian coriander offers trending higher.
📊 Fundamentals
- Inventory Levels: Stocks at key mandis and processing centres are down versus year-ago levels, fuelling the rally.
- Processor Activity: Mills are actively bidding up quality lots for oil extraction.

- Festive Season: Heightened demand ahead of key festivals is set to be a price driver in coming weeks.
🌦️ Weather Outlook
- India (Key Producer): Latest weather models suggest normal monsoon rains across Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, where sowing is concentrated. However, some delays in central India could tighten supply in the near term.
- Egypt (Exporter): Stable, warm conditions with adequate irrigation; no major weather disruptions anticipated.
- Potential Impact: Should dry spells impact late monsoon distribution, further tightening of short-term coriander arrivals is possible, keeping pressure on prices.
