Cardamom prices fell by Rs 16.40 to Rs 742.20 per kg in futures trade today as speculators offloaded holdings due to the adequate stocks in the physical market following higher supply from the producing belts.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, cardamom for delivery in March eased by Rs 16.40, or 2.16 per cent, to Rs 742.20 per kg in a business turnover of 1,013 lots.
