Increased buying activity by both exporters and domestic buyers coupled with limited supply had led to the price rise, Mr Kishor Shamji, President, India Pepper and Spice Trade Association told Business Line. He said exporters, who had got extension of their February shipment to March, had resorted to buying to cover their requirements.
