Indian coriander prices remain firm but are increasingly limited by rising imports and weaker exports. Imports jumped 810% year-on-year in July 2026, while exports fell 17% in the same month.

Local supply is tight, but higher imports and lower exports suggest availability may improve later in the season. This supports a sell-on-rise strategy rather than chasing higher prices.
