Pistachio prices up on rising demand

NEW DELHI: Pistachio prices rose by Rs 5 per kg in the national capital today mostly on the back of increased buying by retailers and stockists amid low stocks.

Fall in supplies from overseas markets also supported the rise in prices.

Pistachio hairati and peshwari rose by Rs 5 each to conclude at Rs 835-865 and Rs 965-995 per kg, respectively.

Marketmen said fresh buying by retailers and stockists against fall in supplies from overseas markets, mainly pushed up pistachio prices on the dry fruit market here.
