Pistachio prices fall on sluggish demand

NEW DELHI: In limited deals, prices of pistachio declined by Rs 10 per kg in the national capital today largely on the back of sluggish 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 10 to settle at Rs 770-850 and Rs 1,020-1,050 per kg, respectively.

Traders said sluggish demand from retailers and stockists against fresh arrivals, mainly led to a fall in pistachio prices on the wholesale dry fruit market here.
