Cumin prices rise due to festive demand and tight supply

Indian cumin prices have risen as festive demand increases and supplies become tighter. Wholesale markets report prices have gone up by about ₹100 per quintal due to lower selling pressure and strong demand.

Export prices for cumin seeds from India, Egypt, and Syria are also increasing. Organic and higher-purity grades are seeing the most demand, with prices showing a modest upward trend since late September.
