New Delhi, 14 October (NNS): Following a rise in futures trading, cumin prices in the domestic spot market witnessed a slight correction. Average-quality cumin is now quoted at Rs 27000/27500 per quintal after the decline of Rs 500 per quintal. Just ahead of cumin sowing for the upcoming rabi season in Gujarat and Rajasthan during October–November, uncertainty surrounding weather conditions and temperatures has emerged. This has led to continued volatility and upward movements in speculative and futures trading. Arrivals of cumin remain limited in major mandis across the country, including Unjha. Farmers and traders are holding back their stocks in anticipation of higher prices, despite the recent improvement in rates. With the onset of the festive and wedding seasons in October, domestic demand for cumin from spice manufacturers, local processors and stockists has increased significantly.
