In most areas, 15 to 20% less yield is visible due to lack of cold.

Price may increase

The two contributing reasons for a hike are fundamentals and speculative. There is no export or domestic demand for fenugreek, yet such a vast boom has been seen. Due to the purchase of fenugreek by many speculators who earned in the rise of cumin, such a rapid rise has also been witnessed in fenugreek. And as there is bumper sowing of coriander in Gujarat, there is talk of a 20 to 25% reduction in the sowing area of fenugreek in the current year.
