This week, the coriander market has experienced a substantial upswing, largely propelled by surging export demand—especially from key destinations like Gulf countries and Europe. Prices at major Indian mandis rose sharply by $37–$45 per ton, an increase that has spread optimism through trading circles and reaffirmed bullish sentiment for this vital spice. In top-producing areas such as Gujarat, the rally was clear: Gondal and Rajkot mandis saw consistent price climbs, with Unjha—the country’s largest spice hub—registering rates towards the upper end of the week’s range. Even Delhi and Guna reflected the uptrend, confirming a nationwide firming of coriander prices as export offers (FOB) also reached their highest points for the season.
Underlying this robust market performance is a confluence of tight domestic supply and revived global appetite. Notably, traders stress that the current export momentum could fuel further price gains, particularly if supply remains restricted. This dynamic forms the basis for a bullish short-term outlook, with many in the trade watching weather conditions and forward export bookings closely to assess sustainability.

🌤️ Weather Outlook: Key Growing Regions
- India (Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh): Monsoon rainfall is currently normal to above-average. However, any delay in late-summer rains could stress standing crops and impact quality.
- Egypt: Weather conditions are currently favorable, supporting healthy crop prospects and stable export capacity.
- Short-term risk: Watch for late monsoon withdrawal or unseasonal rainfall in Indian regions—could tighten supplies if adverse weather occurs.
📆 Trading Outlook & Recommendations
- Buyers: Consider forward coverage as prices are likely to rise if export demand and limited supplies persist.
- Exporters: Lock-in sales at current high FOB rates while assessing new crop progress and export logistics.
- Importers: Monitor Indian weather and forward-book only essential volumes, as volatility may rise due to both supply and currency movements.
- Traders: Opportunities exist for short-term gains, but keep a close watch on export order flows and monsoon updates.
