Cardamom small prices rose by Rs 5 per kg in the national capital today largely on the back of a pick-up in demand from retailers and stockists amid restricted arrivals from growing regions.
Cardamom small varieties such as Chitridar, colour robin bold and extra bold rose by Rs 5 each to conclude at Rs 525-650, Rs 535-540, Rs 555-565 and Rs 640-650 per kg, respectively.
Traders said apart from buying support from retailers and stockists, rising domestic demand, mainly pushed up cardamom prices at the wholesale kirana market here.
