Turmeric, jeera recover on retailers buying

Turmeric and jeera prices recovered by Rs 100 per quintal in the national capital today largely influenced by fresh buying support from retailers and stockists amid paucity of stocks.
Restricted arrivals from producing belts also supported the upside.
Turmeric prices rose Rs 100 to conclude at Rs 6,800-11,400 per quintal.
Jeera common and jeera best quality also increased by Rs 100 each to finish at Rs 10,600-10,900 and Rs 14,100-14,300 per quintal, respectively.
Traders said fresh buying by retailers and stockists against restricted arrivals from producing belts, mainly pushed up turmeric and jeera prices on the wholesale kirana market here.
