Almond declines on subdued demand

Almond prices declined by Rs 100 per 40 kg in the national capital today largely due to subdued demand from retailers and stockists.

Adequate stocks following increased arrivals from overseas markets also put pressure on the prices. 

Almond (california) prices fell by Rs 100 to Rs 10,000 per 40 kg while its kernel shed Rs 5 to Rs 350-360 per kg.  

Traders said fall in demand from retailers and stockists against fresh arrivals mainly pulled down almond prices in the wholesale dry fruit market here.
