Pistachio prices fall on subdued demand

NEW DELHI: Pistachio prices declined by Rs 10 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 10 each to settle at Rs 1,480-1,530 and Rs 1,580-1,680 per kg, respectively.

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