Pepper prices slip on talk of price cut
Pepper futures fell on Wednesday on talk of price cuts in major producing countries and low export demand, analysts said.
���Traders in Vietnam and Indonesia have cut prices by $100-$150 per tonne,��� said Alimuhammed Lakdawala, an analyst with Anand Rathi Commodities.
Vietnam is the world���s largest pepper producer and exporter and low prices may affect India���s export prospects.
Demand in the physical market has come down to about 100 tonnes from about 120 tonnes last week, said K Varghese, a Kochi-based trader. Spot pepper was trading at Rs 15,375 per 100 kg in Kochi.
