Cardamom prices fell 1.23% to Rs 826.20 per kg in futures trade today as speculators offloaded positions amid adequate stocks in spot markets on increased arrivals from producing regions.

Besides, sluggish demand in the spot market put pressure on cardamom prices.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, cardamom for delivery in November fell by Rs 10.30, or 1.23%, to Rs 826.20 per kg in a business turnover of 259 lots.
