Cardamom falls on low demand

Cardamom brown prices fell by Rs 10 per kg in the national capital today as demand eased from retailers and stockists amid adequate stocks on increased arrivals from producing regions.

Cardamom brown-Jhundiwali and Kanchicut prices declined by Rs 10 each to conclude at Rs 840-850 and Rs 950-1,150 per kg, respectively.

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