New Delhi: Currently, prices for coriander remain subdued due to reduced trading activity. However, given the decline in market arrivals, there appear to be no immediate prospects for a significant price slump. Sources indicate that exports are being adversely affected by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Notably, earlier in the season, coriander prices witnessed a record surge—driven by lower domestic yields and depleted carry-over stocks—but have recently softened somewhat as high price levels began to dampen demand.

Arrivals at markets in the production centers have begun to decline, as the bulk of the total produce has already reached the markets. In Gondal—a major market in Gujarat—arrivals have dropped to 4,000–5,000 bags, while in Rajasthan's Ramganj market, arrivals have fallen to 250–300 bags. Arrivals at the Kota market currently stand at 1,000–1,200 bags. In Madhya Pradesh, arrivals at the Guna market have dropped to 7,000–8,000 bags, and at Kumbhraj, to 3,000–4,000 bags. Sources indicate that 70–75 percent of the total produce in Gujarat has already arrived at the markets, while in Rajasthan, 75–80 percent has arrived. Reports suggest that 60–70 percent of the produce has reached the markets in Madhya Pradesh.

According to data released by the Spices Board, during the first ten months (April–January 2026) of the 2025–26 fiscal year, coriander exports totaled 52,006 tonnes, generating export earnings of ₹570.29 crore. In comparison, during the April–January 2025 period, coriander exports stood at 49,396 tonnes, yielding export earnings of ₹520.21 crore. It is worth noting that during the 2023–24 fiscal year, coriander exports reached a record high of 108,624 tonnes, a figure that subsequently declined to 60,330 tonnes in the 2024–25 fiscal year.
