The coriander market is holding a steady pattern amid a unique blend of fundamental and climatic factors during the 2025 monsoon season. Rajasthan, a principal producer, has seen patchy rainfall—benefiting some areas while leaving others parched. This inconsistency, together with notably limited arrivals at major wholesale markets (mandis), has kept prices from experiencing significant volatility. Farmers seem inclined to hold their stocks in hope of better prices, but the reality on the ground is defined by muted demand both domestically and from export channels.
Retail spice mills and wholesalers continue to support the base, yet lackluster export interest is capping any upside. Recent export data underscores the sentiment: May 2025 shipments were down sharply year-on-year, as overseas buyers remain cautious and await a clearer picture of future supply. Current inventories are adequate, although arrivals are well below seasonal peaks, putting further emphasis on domestic demand to support prices. The consensus among industry experts is that coriander will likely continue in a narrowly confined range in the coming weeks, supported by steady (if unspectacular) demand.
