Pistachio rises on buying support

Pistachio prices rose by Rs 5 per kg in the national capital today, largely on the back of fresh buying support from retailers and stockists, triggered by domestic demand.  

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

Pistachio hairati and peshwari traded higher by Rs 5 to settle at Rs 1,000-1,050 and Rs 1,250-1,300 per kg, respectively. 

Market analysts said increased demand from retailers and stockists, driven by domestic demand against fall in supplies from overseas markets mainly pushed up pistachio prices on the wholesale dry fruit market here.
