Pistachio rises on fresh buying

Pistachio prices rose up to Rs 10 per kg in the national capital today on the back of fresh buying support from retailers and stockists. 

Restricted supplies from overseas markets also supported the upside in prices. Pistachio hairati and peshwari traded up to Rs 10 higher at Rs 1,140-1,220 and Rs 1,260-1,415 per kg, respectively.

Marketmen said increased demand from retailers and stockists against fall in supplies from overseas markets mainly pushed up the pistachio prices on the wholesale dry fruit market here.
