Cumin seeds, also referred to as 'jeera' in India, form an essential part of cuisines worldwide, especially in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cuisines. Apart from its culinary uses, cumin seeds have several health benefits and have been the subject of market research reports lately due to fluctuating prices and quantity produced.
Recent Market Trends on Cumin Seeds
The cumin seeds market, as of December 2024, has remained in the throes of marked fluctuations. Against the bumper production, high prices have raised suspicions about hoarding by traders and large-scale farmers. The scenario has prompted industry players to start calling for regulatory interventions capable of stabilizing the market and assuring fair prices for both consumers and producers.
Besides, cumin prices depend upon the pattern of world trade. China's shortfall in production, while being one of the major cumin-producing countries, has thus raised demand for Indian varieties. While this opens possibilities for exporters in India, it brings in volatility regarding how much to export as against keeping for domestic use.
