In futures trading, the price of coriander dropped by 286 rupees to 15,334 rupees a quintal on Monday. This was due to investors reducing their positions in response to the weak demand in the spot market.

On the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange, the price of coriander contracts for delivery in August fell by Rs 286, which is equivalent to 1.83 percent, to Rs 15,334 a quintal. There was an open interest of 24,745 lots.

According to market observers, the prices of coriander futures were affected by a combination of a lack of spot demand and profit-booking by speculators.
