In the United States, the highest-cost reporting region, Dill prices fell just above 1.3% in Q3 2026, moving from roughly USD 5,200/MT in Q2 to close to USD 5,130/MT in Q3, and it was the arrival of new crop supplies and cautious buying by spice blenders that most plausibly shaped the move. Across the tracked regions, the global average eased from about USD 3,935/MT in Q2 to near USD 3,865/MT in Q3, a decline of just under 1.8%. For Q4 2026, a global average of just above USD 3,670 to 4,060/MT is expected, with crop size, quality, and demand from spice blenders and food processors guiding the range.
Dill is an aromatic herb of the carrot family, and it is traded mainly as dried dill weed, which is the leaf, and as dill seed, with both sold cleaned and graded for food use. Spice blenders, pickle and snack makers, sauce producers, and food service suppliers use it for seasoning and flavouring, with spice blends and pickling taking the largest share of demand. Crop size, weather, quality standards, freight costs, and demand from food processors all feed into the price.
The balance of supply and demand for dill through the end of 2026 leans stable to soft. New crop supplies from Egypt and Europe reached the market over the summer, and buyers had already covered much of their needs earlier in the year. Quality and cleaning standards continue to separate the premium offers from the rest.
The main upside risk is a short crop or poor quality from late weather problems that lifts prices above the forecast range. The main downside risk is heavier carry over stock and weaker demand from spice blenders, which would pull prices below the forecast.
