Characteristics Coriander (Coriandrum sativum), dhania is an annual spice crop
and a member of the Umbelliferae, or carrot family. The
coriander plant yields both the fresh herb and spice seed, which
are used primarily for culinary purposes.
The fresh green herb is called cilantro, or Chinese parsley. It is
used in southeast and southern Asian, Chinese and Mexican
cuisine, and for flavouring salads and soups.
The fruits (seeds) are widely used as condiments with or
without roasting in the preparation of curry powders, sausages
and seasonings. It is an important ingredient in the
manufacture of food flavourings, in bakery products, meat
products, soda & syrups, puddings, candy preserves and
liquors.
• The spice is also employed for the preparation
of either the steam-distilled essential oil or the
solvent-extracted oleoresin. Both products are
used in the flavouring and aroma industries.
Global Scenario
The global production of coriander seed is estimated to be
around 6 lakh tonnes. However, official estimates are rarely
available for this crop in most producing countries.
Additionally, coriander is widely grown in home gardens on
a small scale, which is never included in official statistics.
The major global producers are India, Morocco, Canada,
Romania, Russia and Ukraine. The other producers are Iran,
Turkey, Israel, Egypt, China, US, Argentina and Mexico.
conti…
The global trade in coriander is estimated to be
around 0.85 - 1 lakh tonnes a year. While,
India, Turkey, Egypt, Romania, Morocco, Iran
and China are the major exporters. Middle
East, South-east Asia, USA, UK, Germany etc
are the major importers.
Indian Scenario
India is the biggest producer, consumer and exporter of
coriander in the world with an annual production averaging
around 3 lakh tonnes. The production fluctuates widely
between years and has varied from below 2 lakh tonnes to
above 4 lakh tonnes in this decade.
Rajasthan (54%) and Madhya Pradesh (17%) are the two
largest producing states in the country contributing over
two-thirds to the country's total production in 2006-07. The
other producers are Gujarat (6.9%), Assam (6.6%), Andhra
Pradesh (3.5%, Karnataka (3.3%), Orissa (3.2%) and Tamil
Nadu (2%).
contin… Official estimates of area and production are
released by the Spices Board, India and the latest
estimates available peg India's production in 2006-
07 at 2.88 lakh tonnes and area under cultivation
at 3.62 lakh hectares. The production from
Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh are reported at
1.55 and 0.50 lakh tonnes respectively. Rajasthan's
coriander production is estimated to have dipped
sharply to around 1.30 lakh tonnes in 2007-08.
However, output is 2008-09 is reported to be
normal.

Major Indian Trading Centres
The major markets are located in Rajasthan and
Madhya Pradesh. The three largest markets are
Kota, Ramganj Mandi and Baran in Rajasthan.
Market Influencing Factors The seeds can be stored for only around six-
eight months in normal temperature and this
influences availability and prices during the low
availability months - October to January.
The supply fluctuates sharply between season
and this leads to high price volatility. The
supply is influenced by acreage under the crop,
weather and diseases.
