Turmeric and jeera prices rose by Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale kirana market in the national capital today largely on the back of a pick-up in demand from stockists and overseas enquiries amid restricted arrivals from growing regions.
Firming trend in futures market also supported the rise in prices.
Turmeric prices rose by Rs 100 to settle at Rs 7,500-10,500 per quintal.
Jeera common and jeera best quality also increased by Rs 100 each to conclude at Rs 16,400-16,600 and Rs 18,600-19,100 per quintal, respectively.
