\n 25 July 2026.<\/p>\n
Robust demand drives price surges for Black Pepper, Large Cardamom, and Sago, while Almond Giree and Pistachio maintain firm trends despite subdued importer activity.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Despite recent sluggish market activity, Black Pepper faces a strong bullish outlook in the medium term. This is driven by significant reductions in global and domestic production forecasts, particularly from Vietnam and India, coupled with critically low old stock levels. Geopolitical conflicts hindering imports further tighten supply. While some immediate weakness was noted, fundamental factors suggest a sustained upward price trajectory for the coming month.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Cumin is poised for gradual price increases in the coming days, stemming from reduced sowing, lower yields, and significantly diminished old stock. Export demand is starting to emerge, bolstered by high international prices and crop failures in other major producing countries. Although the market has seen a temporary pause in price increases due to producer holding and buyer hesitation at current elevated levels, the underlying fundamentals indicate strong upward potential for the long term.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Fenugreek prices are gaining strength due to a substantial 30-35% reduction in production in key states like Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, combined with low carryover stock. The new crop also arrived late, and unfavorable weather further impacted yields. High prices in neighboring countries have diverted supply, strengthening domestic market rates. Despite some current stability in certain segments, the overall supply deficit and ongoing demand, including from Ayurvedic companies, suggest continued firmness and potential for further gains.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Nutmeg is currently experiencing soft prices, primarily due to high market arrivals coupled with a noticeable lack of export demand. The market has already seen a decline, and prices are holding at previous lower levels. Without a significant shift in demand or a reduction in arrivals, the immediate outlook does not suggest any upward movement.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Following a recent period of decline, Turmeric prices have stabilized, with demand remaining sluggish in major markets like Erode. Despite this, active futures contracts have shown a modest increase, indicating some underlying strength. Arrivals in key regions are moderate, and the market is anticipated to maintain its current firm price levels in the short term.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Poppy Seeds face potential disruptions in imports due to ongoing geopolitical conflicts. However, current market prices remain stable, partly due to persistent sluggish demand. While there is no immediate indication of a price decline, the absence of a strong consumption season could impact market sentiment. Traders should closely monitor global supply chain developments.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Coriander continues to experience sluggish sales following recent price declines. Prices for specific varieties remain unchanged at previous lower levels, reflecting weak market activity. Limited arrivals in producing markets and cautious selling from stockists contribute to the overall dull sentiment, suggesting that prices are likely to remain subdued in the immediate future.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Large Cardamom is demonstrating a robust upward trend, driven by strong and growing demand despite already high price levels. Specific varieties have seen significant price increases, and average auction prices are also rising. The market shows no immediate signs of a decline, indicating sustained bullish momentum.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n 📲 Get these daily Key Takeaways<\/strong> the moment they’re out \u2014 free on Telegram:\n <\/p>\n⬆️ Black Pepper: Underlying Bullishness Despite Current Sluggishness<\/h3>\n
