According to jeera traders, enquires from exporters are few but local demand is sluggish due to prospects of higher output.
Jeera price may decline with the arrival of the new crop in the local market and expectations of higher output.
This year, India’s jeera production is estimated around 36-38 lakh bags.
Jeera acreage in Gujarat is reported to be around 3.35 lakh hectares, according to the data released by the Gujarat Agriculture Department.
