Cardamom falls on sluggish demand

Cardamom brown fell by Rs 10 per kg in the national capital today largely due to weak demand from retailers and stockists amidst adequate stocks.
Increased arrivals from producing regions also put pressure on the cardamom brown prices.
Cardamom brown -- Jhundiwali and Kanchicut-- declined by Rs 10 each to conclude at Rs 1,790-1,810 and Rs 2,060-2,080 per kg, respectively.
Marketmen said subdued demand from retailers and stockists against adequate stocks, mainly pulled down cardamom prices.

Ajwain (per kg) 155-190, black pepper (per kg) 625-775, betel-nut (kg) 300-350, cardamom brown-Jhundiwali (kg) 1,790-1,810 and cardamom brown-Kanchicut (kg) 2,060-2,080.
