Mumbai's coriander prices have skyrocketed to Rs 40-45 per bunch in retail markets, as a result of a devastating supply shortage caused by unseasonal rain and poor weather in key growing regions like Nashik, Pune, and Satara. These areas saw significant damage to standing coriander crops, with many fields seeing their produce rot.
This led to a 50% drop in APMC market supplies, driving up wholesale rates. Despite high demand, the limited availability has pushed premium coriander to record prices, burdening consumers. Wholesale vegetable trader Ramesh Shinde attributes the surge to the reduced supply at APMC markets, stating wholesale rates are pushing up prices in retail outlets as well.
He predicts prices will remain high until fresh produce arrives in larger quantities, as the situation might ease upon the arrival of more supplies.
