Market Sentiment
As per the experts, the price increase is the result of several factors –
- Decrease in the sowing area of the crop
- Unseasonal rain and hail have caused crop damage to Coriander seeds and other Rabi crops in Madhya Pradesh.
- There are reports of good trading in the market, with low selling pressure while the buyers were active.
- It is expected that with the prices going high, there should be an increase in the arrival of the crop in the market but overall production is less compared to last year.
- Earlier, farmers were waiting for the prices to go higher before releasing the crops.
- The weather is reported to be good in Rajasthan and Gujarat, which should be helping the crops.
