Farmers and traders in the spice business, take note — today's cumin market has witnessed a historic price surge. On June 24, 2025, jeera prices across major Indian mandis saw a remarkable jump, shaking up both buyer and seller sentiment.
The biggest shocker? Mumbai mandi recorded a staggering ₹35,100 per quintal – the highest cumin price in the country this season. While this spike is likely due to high-grade or export-quality consignments, it marks a significant shift in market dynamics.
Meanwhile, Unjha mandi in Gujarat, India’s largest cumin hub, held strong with heavy arrivals but still clocked ₹19,200 per quintal at the upper end — a sign that demand remains robust and traders are willing to pay top rates for quality produce.
