\n Dear Client,<\/p>\n
Please find below the latest market intelligence for the Indian Spice sector as of
\n 17 August 2026.<\/p>\n
The spice market shows a mixed trend, with Turmeric exhibiting firmness, while Large Cardamom and Nutmeg are experiencing softness due to increased supply and subdued demand.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Turmeric sales remained robust even after the Independence Day holiday, contributing to positive market sentiment. Prices for Erode Gatha saw a notable increase. The active futures market also reflected this strength, indicating sustained investor confidence. The market anticipates Turmeric prices to maintain their current firmness in the coming days, suggesting a bullish outlook.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Cumin arrivals in Unjha remain limited, contributing to price stability rather than significant increases. Weak demand from Bangladesh continues to dampen export prospects, while an insufficient monsoon in key Gujarat regions impacts domestic sentiment. Overall low arrivals and absent exporter demand suggest continued market dullness. Despite a temporary price hike, recent stockist selling has pushed prices back down, indicating underlying weakness.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Nutmeg prices have experienced a softening trend, influenced by the closure of Homage Street markets and active arrivals from Kerala. This downward pressure has led to a reduction in per-kilogram rates. The market sentiment is further affected by a noticeable lack of activity from exporters. Industry experts currently foresee no significant price increases for Nutmeg in the immediate future.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Following recent rainfall, increased arrivals of coriander in the Baran mandi of Rajasthan have been noted. Despite this higher supply, demand has remained sluggish, resulting in stable prices at their previous levels. The active futures market also saw a slight softening due to weak selling by stockists. The market currently predicts no major price fluctuations for coriander in the near term, indicating a stable but cautious outlook.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Large Cardamom continues to exhibit a dull trend, following a period of recent market slowdown. Kanchikut prices have remained stable, however, average auction prices have seen a decline, negatively influencing overall market sentiment. Traders do not anticipate any significant firmness for Large Cardamom in the immediate future, suggesting continued weakness.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Fenugreek seeds have maintained a dull but stable trend after a recent decline in prices. Rates have remained unchanged, indicating a lack of significant market movement. Arrivals in producing areas and previous day’s prices both pointed towards stability. With the harvest season underway, market sentiment remains cautious but without any immediate fear of a slowdown.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Green Cardamom is experiencing dullness due to abundant stock and weak demand in the market. The pressure from the new crop, evident in auction yards, has led to a significant price drop. Munchkhla prices have fallen, indicating a clear bearish trend. The combination of increased supply and subdued demand is expected to keep prices soft in the near term.<\/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🚀 Turmeric Holds Firm Amid Strong Sales<\/h3>\n
