Coriander prices fell by Rs 54 to Rs 6,612 per quintal in futures trade today as demand declined in the spot market against the higher supplies.
Profit-booking by speculators at higher levels created a pressure on commodity prices.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, coriander for delivery in June fell by Rs 54, or 0.81%, to Rs 6,612 per quintal with an open interest of 10,060 lots.
Coriander for the July delivery declined by Rs 48, or 0.71%, to Rs 6,711 per quintal with open interest of 24,590 lots.
Market analysts said besides profit-booking by speculators at existing higher levels, sluggish demand in the spot market led to the fall in coriander futures prices.
