Black pepper and turmeric prices fell up to Rs 200 per quintal in the national capital today on the back of sluggish demand from retailers and stockists amid adequate stocks.

Black pepper fell by Rs 200 to conclude at Rs 20,400- 20,500 per quintal. Turmeric prices also traded lower at Rs 15,100-17,900, against previous closing of Rs 15,200-18,000 per quintal.
