# Coriander prices cross Rs 200/kg after rains hit supply 2026-08-14T08:53:33+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Fresh coriander, long given away free by vegetable vendors, now costs over Rs 200 per kg in retail markets after heavy rainfall disrupted supplies from Nashik, a key source for northern India. At Delhi's Azadpur mandi, wholesale prices hit Rs 175 per kg, and retail rates touched Rs 220-230 earlier this week, according to traders quoted by the Times of India. A month ago, prices in Nashik were already near Rs 130 per kg as quality produce became scarce. The Economic Times reports that heavy rain in late July damaged standing crops and disrupted transport, making it hard to find coriander that can survive the long journey to Delhi. Supplies from Karnataka, Latur, and Bengaluru have also fallen. Coriander's price spike comes as India's food inflation rose to 5.52% in July, with ginger (83.62% year-on-year), garlic (35.36%), and onion (22.54%) also seeing sharp increases. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - economictimes.indiatimes.com Tags: azadpur mandi, coriander, Nashik, Rainfall, supply chain, vegetable prices Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/coriander-prices-top-rs-200-per-kg-no-longer-free/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
