Futures contracts of all spices, barring cardamom, ended higher on domestic exchanges. Futures contracts of coriander and turmeric hit their 3% and 4% upper circuits, respectively, due to lower supplies in spot markets. Arrivals of coriander in Rajasthan were pegged at 5,000 bags (1 bag = 40 kg), down 1,400 bags, while those of turmeric in Erode, Tamil Nadu, were down by 2,500 bags (1 bag = 70 kg) at 3,000 bags. The rise in coriander prices was also because of a likely fall in acreage in 2017-18 (Oct-Sep).
