Amid rising domestic demand and restricted arrivals from producing regions, coriander prices rose by 0.57 per cent to Rs 8,075 per quintal in futures trade today as speculators enlarged positions.
At the National Commodity and Derivative Exchange, coriander for delivery in February rose by Rs 46, or 0.57 per cent, to Rs 8,075 per quintal with an open interest of 1,980 lots.
Similarly, the spice for delivery in April edged up by Rs 7, or 0.08 per cent, to Rs 8,938 per quintal in 45,190 lots.
Market analysts said increased buying by speculators on the back of rising spot market demand against restricted arrivals from producing belts mainly helped coriander prices to trade higher at futures trade.
