Gujarat Coriander Sowing Exceeds Normal Acreage
In Gujarat, India, farmers have planted a lot of coriander this year.
The area used for planting is 78.24% more than usual.
This is because the weather has been good, and more farmers are growing coriander.
The prices for coriander are also high right now because there isn't much available to buy.
People think the prices will stay high until the new crop is ready to be harvested in a couple of months.
The weather will decide how much coriander will be produced and how the prices will change later.
Coriander sowing in Gujarat reached 125,336 hectares, 78.24% over the normal area.
Favourable weather conditions and increased farmer participation drove the higher sowing.
Coriander prices remain firm due to limited supply and steady demand.
New crop arrivals are expected nearly two months away.
Weather conditions will play a key role in shaping output and price trends.
