▶Procure Saffron Proactively: Acquire saffron stocks early to hedge against shipping delays and supply chain blocks caused by Middle Eastern geopolitical tensions.
▶De-escalate Cumin Buying: Adopt a hand-to-mouth buying strategy for cumin as the bumper domestic harvest is likely to keep prices soft in the short term.
▶Accumulate Black Pepper on Dips: Utilize the ongoing price correction in black pepper to build inventory before festive demand triggers a market revival.
▶Watch Chilli Markets Post-Holidays: Maintain a cautious stance on red chilli until major mandis resume regular operations in mid-June to assess the actual supply situation.
▶Hold Cardamom Purchases: Wait for prices of both large and small cardamom to stabilize as profit-booking and stock pressure run their course.
