Market Overview:
– Zira’s price rises to 3.34% off at ₹27,205, as the export demand revealed adverse weather concerns in enlargement, domestic and global supply and major production areas
El Niño Outbreak and Water Reduction have made the prospects of sowing and production in Rajasthan and Gujarat uncertain. The Government of Gujarat has declared Jamnagar, Devbhu Dwarka, Portbandar and Kutch as districts suffering from water deficiencies, thereby increasing concern on agricultural water availability
Indian cumin demand has grown due to the limited Syrian supply, while growing domestic farming in China reduces dependence on its Indian export. India’s cumin production can drop to 90–92 lakh bags this year as per industry estimate, while the last year was 1.10 crore bags. The production in Gujarat is 42-45 lakh bags, 48-50 lakh bags in Rajasthan
concerns have emerged even globally; China’s production is estimated 70,000–80,000 tonnes due to adverse weather, while Syria and Turkey will produce 9,000–10,000 tonnes and 10,000–11,000 tonnes respectively
