Cashew rises on fresh buying

Cashew prices rose by Rs 5 per kg in the national capital today largely on the back of fresh buying by retailers and stockists. Tight supplies from growing regions also supported the upside in prices.

Cashew kernel No 180, No 210, No 240 and No 320 rose by Rs 5 each to conclude at Rs 680-690, Rs 610-630, Rs 560-585 and Rs 510-560 per kg, respectively. 

Market analysts said increased buying by retailers and stockists against tight supplies from Southern region mainly pushed up cashew prices.
