NEW DELHI, Aug 8: In limited deals, prices of cardamom brown fell by Rs 10 per kg in the national capital today largely due to weak demand from retailers and stockists prevailing at higher levels amidst adequate stocks.
Increased arrivals from producing regions also put pressure on the cardamom brown prices.
Cardamom brown-Jhundiwali and Kanchicut prices declined by Rs 10 each to conclude at Rs 1,720-1,740 and Rs 1,970-1,990 per kg, respectively.
