Big correction in coriander

Nov 02, 2015

Coriander prices have tanked over 20 percent in the last two weeks on the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX). They are currently trading at Rs. 9,391 per quintal. This sharp and sudden fall took the markets by surprise.

The trigger for the huge fall came after unconfirmed reports stating that the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has asked the NCDEX to provide historical price data of the commodity. This made the market nervous and the contract witnessed panic selling thereafter. The ripple effect had the contract hitting the lower circuit for three consecutive days. Following this, the NCDEX has increased the margin for the coriander futures contract with effect from Thursday last week.
