NEW DELHI, Jan 25: Pistachio prices declined by Rs 5 per kg in the national capital today largely due to subdued demand from retailers and stockists.
Adequate stocks position following increased arrivals from overseas markets also put pressure on pistachio prices.
Pistachio (hairati and peshawari) eased by Rs 5 each to settle at Rs 1,350-1,450 and Rs 1,500-1,600 per kg, respectively.
Traders said subdued demand from retailers and stockists against fresh arrivals led to fall in pistachio prices at the wholesale dry fruit market here.
The following are today’s quotations (per 40 kg):
Almond (California) Rs 18,500 Almond (Gurbandi-new) Rs 8,000-8,300; Almond (Girdhi) Rs 4,200-4,500; Abjosh Afghani Rs 8,000-22,000.
Almond Kernel (California-new) Rs 650-675 per kg, Almond Kernel (Gurbandi-new) Rs 500-550 per kg. (PTI)
