Coriander prices rose by Rs 27 to Rs 4,330 per quintal in futures trade today as speculators created fresh positions on the back of firm demand from the domestic markets and on weak arrivals from the fresh crop.
At the National Commodity and Derivative Exchange, coriander for delivery in April added Rs 27, or 0.63%, at Rs 4,330 per quintal, with an open interest of 18,690 lots.
The May contract gained Rs 24, or 0.54%, to Rs 4,509 per quintal with open interest of 11,590 lots.
Market experts said increased buying by speculators on pick-up in spot market demand against less arrivals mainly pushed up coriander prices.
