Futures contracts of coriander on the NCDEX were up over 1% because of lower availability of stocks with farmers. The front-month July contract was at 4,820 rupees per 100 kg, up 1.4% from the previous settlement. India total annual consumption of coriander is 320,000 tonne, and the amount left with stockists is only half of it. Farmers in the state have very less produce left with them and most of the crop is lying with stockists, who are refraining from selling as they await a rise in prices. In Kota, the benchmark market, the Badami variety was sold at 5,600 rupees per 100 kg, while the Eagle variety was quoted at 5,800 rupees, both up 100 rupees from previous close. Arrivals in Rajasthan were 5,000 bags (1bag=40kg), up 3,000 bags from previous close.
