The coriander market is presently experiencing a bullish momentum as supply constraints and robust demand from both domestic and international buyers continue to underpin prices. Over the past several weeks, arrivals in major producing regions like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Gujarat have tapered off, reinforcing a scenario of limited availability. This supply side tightness is further compounded by firm demand from millers, stockists, and exporters, especially targeting the busy festive buying season and heightened international demand from Gulf countries and Southeast Asia. Quality differentials are increasingly evident, with top-grade coriander commanding substantial premiums in the market, further supported by active export procurement.
Current market quotes show top-quality coriander trading between $79 and $80 per quintal, medium-quality at about $77, and lower grades hovering near $74 per quintal. With last year’s carryover stocks mostly depleted and only limited volumes in the hands of stockists, the immediate outlook remains tightly balanced. Barring a sudden influx of new arrivals or an unexpected drop in export orders, the coriander market is expected to remain on a firm footing in the short term.
