Coriander, jeera up as demand picks up

NEW DELHI, Dec 23: Coriander and jeera prices rose by Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale kirana market in the national capital today largely on the back of pick-up in demand from stockists and overseas enquiries amid restricted arrivals from growing regions.
Coriander prices rose by Rs 100 to settle at Rs 6,200- 13,200 per quintal.
Jeera common and jeera best quality also increased by Rs 100 each to conclude at Rs 21,200-21,300 and Rs 23,600-24,100 per quintal.
