Coriander, chilli remain higher on rising demand

Coriander and red chilli prices rose further by Rs 100 per quintal in the national capital today largely influenced by rising demand from local parties and stockists amid fall in supplies from producing belts.
Further, firming trend in futures market and some export enquiries also supported the upside.
