In NCDEX, July futures contract, coriander price on 31 st May 2019 stood at INR 7455 per quintal which declined to INR 7017 per quintal on 06 th June 2019. The decline in price is attributed to ongoing import from Ukraine and lower domestic demand.
At kota markets coriander prices increased by INR 3/ Kg to trade in the range of INR 65-68/ Kg as compared to INR 66-71 / Kg previous week.
