Coriander prices declined by Rs 48 to Rs 4,083 per quintal in futures trade today as speculators booked profits at prevailing higher levels, driven by a weak trend at spot market on subdued demand.
At the National Commodity Exchange, coriander for delivery in September declined by Rs 48, or 1.16%, to Rs 4,083 per quintal, with an open interest of 13,640 lots.
