Heavy Rains Disrupt Coriander Supply, Causing Price Surge in Indian Markets
Heavy rains have disrupted coriander supplies from key producing regions like Nashik, causing wholesale prices to surge to around ₹175 per kg and retail prices to reach ₹220-230 per kg in markets such as Delhi. Flooding damaged crops and transport routes, limiting availability of good-quality coriander. Other kitchen staples like ginger and garlic have also seen price increases, while some vegetables like potatoes and tomatoes have become cheaper. This reflects a complex food inflation pattern influenced by erratic monsoon conditions across India.
