Cardamom dips on subdued demand

Cardamom brown prices declined by Rs 10 per kg at the wholesale kirana market in the national capital today in view of subdued demand from retailers and stockists amidst adequate stocks.

Cardamom brown (Jhundiwali and Kanchicut) prices drifted lower by Rs 10 each to settle at Rs 600-610 and Rs 650-950 per kg, respectively.

Marketmen said muted demand from retailers and stockists against adequate stocks, mainly pulled down cardamom prices.
