Coriander and jeera prices fell by Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale kirana market in the national capital today on easing demand from retailers and stockists amid adequate stocks.
Besides, increased arrivals from producing regions put pressure on the select spice prices.
Coriander prices drifted lower by Rs 100 to conclude at Rs 5,600-11,700 per quintal.
Jeera common and jeera best quality also declined by Rs 100 each to settle at Rs 19,000-19,200 and Rs 21,200-21,500 per quintal.
