 Market Sentiment

As per the experts, the price increase is the result of several factors –

  • 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.
