Cardamom prices fell by 0.74 per cent to Rs 941 per kg in futures trade today as speculators booked profits at prevailing levels, driven by subdued spot demand.

Adequate stocks in the physical market also put pressure on cardamom prices.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, cardamom for delivery in July declined by Rs 7.10, or 0.74 per cent, to Rs 941 per kg in a business turnover of 48 lots.
