Ahmedabad, May 29 (Commodities Control): The cumin market in Gujarat is experiencing a continued downward trend in prices due to low demand. Traders predict that prices could drop by an additional Rs 15-20 per kg in the coming days.
Current daily arrivals average between 40,000 to 45,000 bags, but actual trade volume is only around 15,000 bags. In major centers like Unjha, trading is occurring for around 8,000-9,000 bags, indicating a significant disparity between supply and demand. This persistent low demand has led to a decline in prices over the past four days.
Today, cumin prices softened by Rs 100 per 20 kg due to the ongoing lack of demand. Over the last four days, prices have fallen by up to Rs 600 per 20 kg. While there was strong local sales activity in May, export demand remained weak. Speculators, eager to offload their goods, are introducing large volumes into the market at high prices, but this trend appears to be ending.
In Unjha mandi today, around 22,000 bags were received. The price for rough cumin ranged from Rs 4650-4900 per 20 kg, while the best quality cumin was priced at Rs 5350-5550 per 20 kg.
