Jeera prices declined by 0.4% to close at Rs 23,475, influenced by ample supplies and weak export demand in the context of sufficient existing stocks. The decrease can be primarily linked to the conclusion of the retail season and ongoing lack of engagement from international purchasers, as existing export demands are predominantly satisfied by current stock levels. Nonetheless, the downside was constrained owing to subdued arrivals and level-based purchasing, particularly during the Diwali holiday period when market activity was relatively quiet.

On the supply side, sowing in Gujarat has been recorded at 3.98 lakh hectares, reflecting a decline of 16.31% compared to the previous year, as delayed field readiness contributes to one of the slowest sowing seasons observed in recent years. In Unjha, the volume of arrivals remains notably low, while premium-quality cumin continues to secure elevated prices. Current season production estimates are projected to be lower at 90–92 lakh bags compared to 1.10 crore bags from the previous year, with output from Gujarat anticipated at 42–45 lakh bags and Rajasthan at 48–50 lakh bags.

Globally, adverse weather conditions have led to reductions in production estimates in China, Syria, Turkey, and Afghanistan; however, this situation has not yet resulted in a significant increase in export demand for Indian jeera. During the period from April to November 2025, exports experienced a year-on-year decline of 10.3%, although shipments in November saw an increase of 22.7% compared to the previous year. In the Unjha spot market, prices experienced a decline of 0.21%, settling at Rs 23,818.5.

From a technical perspective, the market is experiencing long liquidation, evidenced by a 2.31% decline in open interest. Support is identified at Rs 23,350, and if prices fall below this level, they may test Rs 23,210. Resistance is positioned at Rs 23,660, and a breakout above this could propel prices towards Rs 23,830.
