\n Dear Client,<\/p>\n
Please find below the latest market intelligence for the Indian Spice sector as of
\n 17 July 2026.<\/p>\n
Spices like Turmeric and Cumin have seen price surges due to increased demand, while dry fruits have shown mixed stability with import pressures impacting certain varieties.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Turmeric prices have increased by 200 rupees per quintal due to rising demand, especially from the futures market and grinding units. The market has seen a strong upward trend, with Erode Gattha trading higher at 18700-18800 rupees and Salem Phali at 19400-20000 rupees per quintal. This robust demand is expected to continue supporting prices in the near term.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Cumin prices have seen a temporary increase of 200 rupees per quintal, now trading at 22000-22500 rupees, after recent declines. However, this rebound is temporary as sustained demand is lacking. China, historically a major buyer of Indian cumin, has significantly increased its domestic production, reducing demand for Indian exports by about 30%. This, combined with increased cultivation by farmers due to high past prices and existing old stock, suggests limited potential for a prolonged rally, with future prices likely to remain pressured.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The red chilli market is currently stagnant, experiencing a subdued environment after a recent price surge. This is primarily due to significantly cheaper Chinese imports, which are approximately 30-50% less expensive than Indian varieties. These cheaper imports have captured a significant portion of the domestic market (around 70% of sales), severely impacting local producers and reducing trade for traditional varieties like Jammu & Kashmir and American chilli. Until strong measures are taken to restrict these imports, the domestic market for Indian chilli will likely remain under pressure, limiting price recovery.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Clove prices are currently stable, remaining at previous levels around 775-875 rupees per kilogram. However, significant imports from foreign markets like Madagascar and Indonesia have created an oversupply in domestic markets, putting downward pressure on prices. With rising stock levels in wholesale markets and subdued demand, traders are hesitant to purchase new stock at higher prices. A sustained upward trend is not anticipated in the coming days.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Green Cardamom prices have softened after a recent rally, with the market entering a subdued phase. Auction centers are seeing increased arrivals, contributing to the sluggish market conditions, further compounded by weak consumer support. With no major festival or wedding season currently, wholesale demand remains low, and international demand is also moderate. The lack of aggressive export interest is keeping prices from gaining momentum.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Black Pepper prices have stabilized after a recent increase, with a slight correction observed. While domestic production is lower, prices are not rising significantly due to a continuous pipeline of cheaper imports from Sri Lanka and other countries. Traders are currently cautious about making new purchases or accumulating large stocks ahead of festive and winter demand, leading to price pressure. An sudden increase in market arrivals has also contributed to the slight price correction.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Dry Ginger (Sonth) prices are showing strength, benefiting from rising fresh ginger prices. Despite ample stock in markets, the limited availability of fresh ginger for processing is restricting supply. This scarcity, combined with aggressive buying and stocking by large traders and stockists who anticipate higher prices, is continuously supporting the current price levels. With new crop arrivals still weak and old stock dwindling, the market looks profitable for current holdings.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\nTurmeric Rises on Strong Demand! 📈<\/h3>\n
