Cashew prices rose by Rs 5 per kg in the national capital today largely on the back of increased buying by retailers and stockists on higher demand from bulk consumers.
Further, tight stocks following fall in supplies from growing regions also supported the uptrend.
Cashew kernel No 180, No 210, No 240 and No 320 rose by Rs 5 each to settle at Rs 900-930, Rs 840-850 Rs 750-760 and Rs 675-700 per kg, respectively.
Marketmen said increased buying by retailers and stockists against restricted supplies from growing regions, mainly pushed up cashew prices.
