\n Dear Client,<\/p>\n
Please find below the latest market intelligence for the Indian Spice sector as of
\n 10 August 2026.<\/p>\n
Weak stock levels have led to an uplift in prices for Magaj Tarbuj (Watermelon Seeds) and Turmeric.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Coriander trade requires caution due to limited farmer sales and consistently low arrivals in key producing markets. Despite recent good monsoon rains in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, arrivals remain low, and lower sowing this year, influenced by unattractive prices last season and unfavorable weather, continues to impact supply. While specific markets saw minor increases, the overall outlook suggests no long-term rally for the next 5-7 days, with futures softening due to stable stockist selling. Exports decreased by 25% in quantity but increased by 8% in value for April-May 2026-27 compared to the previous year, signaling a shift in market dynamics.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Red Chilli prices are largely anticipated to remain stable over the next 5-7 days. Prices for the 334 Number variant held steady last week, following an earlier increase. Arrivals in the Guntur market were approximately 50,000 bags, maintaining stable price levels. Monsoon conditions in Andhra Pradesh are a critical factor influencing market sentiment and supply. Traders and market participants expect this stability to continue into the upcoming week, with no significant directional changes foreseen.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Turmeric prices are projected to experience sharp fluctuations over the next 5-6 days. Last week saw Erode Gatha ETJ prices initially drop significantly before recovering, but still recording an overall decline compared to the previous week. Arrivals in Erode were moderate, with prices holding steady on a daily basis. Active futures contracts softened due to persistent weak selling pressure from stockists. Market participants should prepare for continued price swings in the near future.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Black Pepper is expected to maintain stable prices over the next 6-7 days. Marker Black Pepper remained steady last week despite minor improvements, attributed to consistent selling from stockists. Kochi reported stable arrivals and prices, indicating a balanced supply-demand scenario locally. However, market sentiment is notably influenced by ongoing imports from Sri Lanka. This external factor is likely to contribute to the continued stability in domestic prices.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Cumin is not anticipated to see an increase in prices over the next 5-7 days. Prices for Cumin Samanya remained unchanged last week despite prior declines, primarily due to steady stockist selling. The Unjha market reported moderate arrivals of approximately 10-11 thousand bags, with prices stable. Active futures contracts softened due to weak stockist sales, influencing the overall market sentiment. Therefore, no immediate upward movement is expected for Cumin in the coming week.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n A rally in Large Cardamom prices is not foreseen for the next 6-7 days. Prices for Kanchikattu Large Cardamom softened last week due to weak selling by stockists, following an earlier decline. Recent auction data shows average prices holding within a specific range, indicating a lack of strong upward momentum. The market remains under pressure from limited buying interest from stockists. No significant price appreciation is expected in the upcoming week.<\/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>\nCoriander: Trade Caution & Stable Outlook Ahead 📉<\/h3>\n
