Coriander prices have increased significantly due to a sharp decline in supply. Heavy unseasonal rain and erratic weather have damaged crops in major producing areas. As a result, wholesale rates at the APMC market have risen, pushing retail prices up to Rs 40-45 per bunch.

The supply shortage has been exacerbated by higher transportation costs. Demand for coriander remains high, but supplies have fallen by over 50%. This shortage has led to record prices for premium-quality coriander, increasing the burden on consumers.

Further details on the situation and its expected duration are available from the source, which reports that prices are likely to remain elevated until new harvesting begins.
