July 25, 2025: Jeera Prices Crash in Gujarat – Rates Drop by Up to ₹1400 in Porbandar

If you're a cumin (jeera) farmer or a spice trader, the latest mandi price report for July 25, 2025, brings some alarming updates. Major markets in Gujarat, including Porbandar, Morbi, Dhrangadhra, and Jamnagar, witnessed a sharp decline in jeera prices, with rates falling by ₹500 to ₹1400 per quintal in just one week.

This price slump is attributed to weak export demand, excess market stock, and low buyer participation. The question now arises should farmers sell now or wait for prices to recover? This report provides a detailed market-wise comparison, reasons behind the decline, and strategic advice to help farmers avoid losses.

Jeera Price Comparison – July 19 to July 25, 2025:

Why Are Jeera Prices Falling?

• Monsoon Disruptions: Continuous rains have disrupted mandi operations, slowing trade and reducing daily transactions.
• Quality Issues: A surge in low-quality or loose-grade jeera in some markets has pulled average prices downward.
• Excess Inventory: Many traders still hold older stock, reducing interest in buying freshly harvested produce.

Farmer Advisory How to Minimize Losses?

• Target High-Performing Mandis: Farmers with premium-quality jeera (bold and clean) should consider selling in Unjha, Jasdan, or Dasada Patdi, where prices remain relatively stable.
• Consider Short-Term Storage: In regions where prices have fallen below ₹16,000/quintal, and if storage is available, holding stock for a few weeks could be more profitable.
• Market Outlook Positive from Mid-August: With the festive season approaching, prices are likely to improve by mid to late August, especially if rainfall disrupts fresh arrivals and demand picks up.

Conclusion: The week ending July 25, 2025, brought significant pressure on jeera markets, especially in Gujarat. But all is not lost with the right quality, smart mandi selection, and timing, farmers can still secure better rates.
