🌿 Fennel Market Surge: Sowing Decline & Export Demand Propel Prices 🌿
Amidst a significant drop in sowing and production, fennel prices have soared, driven by robust demand from China and Singapore and a sharp decrease in India's production levels. This year, the sowing area for fennel in India, a major producer, is just 35% of its normal extent, leading to a tight supply scenario and escalating prices. Initial market entries for the new crop were priced between USD 1.08–1.20/kg, but have since surged by USD 0.36–0.42/kg due to constrained supply and heightened demand.
