\n Dear Client,<\/p>\n
Please find below the latest market intelligence for the Indian Spice sector as of
\n 6 August 2026.<\/p>\n
Mixed market sentiment observed in Kirana-Dry Fruits, with Sabudana and Goela showing upward trends, while Cardamom (small & large) and Turmeric experienced declines.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Turmeric prices have seen a decline, dropping by \u20b9300 per quintal in Erode, driven by profit-booking and subdued demand. A previous day also saw a \u20b9500 fall. Despite this, some minor strength in Erode futures was noted due to increasing inventories, which could impact market sentiment. A temporary break in the current bearish trend is anticipated for turmeric in the coming days.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The Chilli market is experiencing limited arrivals in Guntur due to the monsoon season, although recent gains have tempered, leading to some softness. Arrivals in Andhra Pradesh and Warangal, Telangana, are slightly up. High temperatures continue to negatively impact the crop, with warnings that a prolonged dry spell could trigger a significant price rally. Export volumes for April-May 2026-27 have seen a substantial 36% decline year-on-year, indicating weakened international demand and a crucial role for monsoon activity in future price movements.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Nutmeg prices showed some firmness, influenced by monsoon rains in Kerala causing limited arrivals and concerns over potential crop damage. Despite dullness in sales, the market anticipates no immediate bearish outlook, having previously seen a slight softness. Traders are advised to monitor weather patterns and their impact on future supply.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Turmeric prices witnessed a further decline of \u20b9300 per quintal in Erode due to ongoing profit-booking by stockists, building on a prior \u20b9500 drop. Despite this, increased stockist activity in active futures led to a rise, potentially influencing overall market sentiment. Analysts suggest a temporary halt in the bearish trend for turmeric might be observed in the next day or two.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Fenugreek Seeds have maintained stability, with prices unchanged after a period of weakness. Arrivals and prices in major production centers mirrored yesterday’s levels. The ongoing monsoon season is noted as influencing market sentiment, yet the commodity is expected to remain firm in the immediate future, with no fears of a decline.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Coriander prices remained stable despite good rainfall in Rajasthan’s Hadoti region, which typically impacts arrivals. The lack of fresh arrivals or auctions in key mandis contributed to sustained prices, but overall sluggishness in active futures suggests a cautious market. No significant or long-term rally is currently foreseen for coriander.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Large Cardamom has extended its downward slide, declining by \u20b920 per kilo following earlier drops, a consequence of insufficient market demand. An auction on July 30th saw average prices at \u20b91620-1820. The current market outlook suggests no significant recovery or upward price movement is anticipated for large cardamom in the coming days.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Cumin prices softened, with a decrease of \u20b925 per 20 kilograms, despite cloudy weather conditions. Increased arrivals, reaching approximately 13-14 thousand bags, combined with sustained sluggishness in sales, contributed to this decline. Futures contracts also showed softness, indicating a bearish sentiment. The market outlook suggests no immediate upward movement is expected for cumin.<\/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>\nTurmeric Takes a Dip 📉<\/h3>\n
