Coriander, jeera edge higher on rising demand

Coriander and jeera prices rose by Rs 100 per quintal in the national capital today largely on the back of rising demand from stockists and exporters amid restricted arrivals from growing regions.
Firming trend in futures market also supported the uptrend.
Coriander prices rose by Rs 100 to settle at Rs 8,000-14,100 per quintal.
Jeera common and jeera best quality were also higher by Rs 100 each to conclude at Rs 18,900-19,100 and Rs 21,400-21,900 per quintal.
