Coriander prices rose by Rs 18 to Rs 11,258 per quintal in futures trade on Wednesday, driven by increased positions built up by speculators amid a firm trend in the physical market.

On the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange, coriander contracts for April delivery advanced Rs 18, or 0.16 percent, to Rs 11,258 per quintal, with an open interest of 15,190 lots.

Market analysts attributed the rise in prices to steady demand in the spot market and limited arrivals from key producing regions, which supported the upward movement in futures.
