Dear agriwatch team,
I read your article on dhaniya it’s good information provided but I have doubt.

Carry over stock in Feb 2020 is 25 lakh bags and new arrival in 2020 is 3.52 lakh metric ton. That means total stock is 113 lakh bags.

Say 10 lakhs bags consumption per month. Feb to Nov is 10 months. Still 2.5 months to go for new arrival 2021.

Still 13 lakh bags only available???
That means too much demand is expected on Jan.

Why ncdex dhaniya price is reducing when stock is less???

  Hi Asik.
  In answer to your question, NCDEX January 2021 futures expiry was the last contract this season and the next contract for Dhaniya (Coriander seed) will be in April 2021 because currently, the Rabi sowing season is in progress and between February to March is usually a lean period.
  If there is less demand in the market, it would result in the fall in prices as seen in Dhaniya (Coriander seed), as the futures prices are commonly based on the fundamental of active number market participants which drive the movement of prices and in the physical markets it depends on the buyers ready to buy a particular commodity against the number of sellers or vice versa.
