Mumbai | Tuesday | 16th July, 2019

Summary:

Used as a garnish as well as the main ingredient in cooking, coriander is acting pricey this season. A bunch of the herb, which usually contains 250 gram and used to go for as little as Rs 10-20, has now touched Rs 100. It is now Rs 100 and is only expected to grow costlier," said Devidas Pingale, trader and former director at APMC, Vashi. He said coriander supply has gone down drastically. If coriander prices continue to be this high, then we will not have any option but to think about a price rise," said Suryakant Sarjoshi, owner of Aaswad restaurant at Dadar..
