Coriander prices fell by 0.80% to Rs 7,775 per quintal in futures trade today as speculators booked profits at existing higher levels amid fall in spot market demand.

At the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange, coriander prices for delivery in January fell by Rs 63, or 0.80%, to Rs 7,775 per quintal with open interest of 30,170 lots.

The price for December delivery declined by Rs 19, or 0.26%, to Rs 7,426 per quintal with an open interest of 1,680 lots.
