New Delhi, 30 October (NNS): Despite lower stocks of fenugreek seeds, buying activity in the market is currently sluggish. However, consistent demand continues from the domestic market as well as the pharmaceutical industry. Due to lower arrivals in mandis, prices have recently increased by Rs 200 per quintal, taking average-quality fenugreek seeds to Rs 8700/Rs 8800 per quintal. Fresh crop arrivals from major producing states such as Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh are declining. Considering the prevailing market conditions and reducing stock levels, traders are optimistic about further price gains and good profits in the coming days.
