“Market report”

Re. Cumin seeds

Demands are strong before Ramadan, local offers are Nil, there is no  carry over  from last crop ,which lead to sharp increase in prices influenced also by the increase of  Indian price; The acreage of new crop is good supported by good weather conditions, with some clouds, there is still possibility for change of the situation, as we need two weeks till harvesting,

Major Roads are disturbed by conflicts, beside scarcity of fuels, and electricity  which put many difficulties in transporting cargo,all ports are working fine, and containers are exported smoothly.

The government  regulations of no change, but the disorder of local currency makes the prices volatile.
