The coriander market remains robust as a convergence of firm demand and favorable crop conditions propels market sentiment higher. Recently, fresh arrivals have increased in key producing states like Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh; however, this upturn in supply has not dampened prices. On the contrary, market observers report that buyers—anticipating future supply tightening as sowing slows—remain active, particularly in premium and medium-quality coriander segments. Current post-monsoon weather has been conducive to crop growth, leading to an estimated 2% rise in sowing coverage versus last year and projecting total output to nearly 168,140 tones for the 2025-26 season.
Spot market prices hover in the $79–85 per quintal range, with premium lots drawing the highest bids. As arrivals are expected to slow in the coming weeks, analysts foresee continued market strength unless export demand or weather patterns shift notably. The resilience of coriander prices is underscored by strong interest from both spice processors and exporters, who are forecast to underpin market floors even amid short-term supply boosts. In this landscape, coriander’s bullish momentum looks set to persist, making the spice an attractive hold for producers and merchants heading into the next quarter.
