The dry fruits are known as coriander seeds. Coriander is famous worldwide as a spice in many foods as well as beverages.
India is the largest producer but also a large importer to supplement their large domestic requirements. Over recent years the increased demand for seeds has meant less has been further processed into oil. The global seed prices have increased significantly in recent times ensuring the oil prices follow.
Coriander essential oil consists of compounds like Borneol, Cineole, Cymene, Dipentene, Linalool, Phellandrene, Pinene, Terpineol and Terpinolene, and these are all attributes that contribute to its place in the healthcare markets.
Some health benefits of coriander essential oil can be attributed to its properties as an analgesic, aphrodisiac, antispasmodic, carminative, depurative, deodorant, digestive, fungicidal, lipolytic, stimulant and stomachic substance.
Coriander seed oil is obtained through steam distillation. Steam is passed through cleaned and crushed seeds to vaporise the aromatic compounds, which are later cooled to separate the oil from water. Coriander seed oil is valued for its warm, spicy, and slightly herbaceous aroma. It is widely used in flavourings, perfumery, aromatherapy, and digestive wellness formulations.
The harvest was poor across major growing regions in 2025. Late frosts in April, followed by drought, severely impacted yields. Farmers are holding on to their product, which has tightened the market situation. Uncertainty regarding the climate suggests pressure on price will remain for the foreseeable future. While certain producing regions fared better than others, overall seed availability remains low, and the prices are elevated.
