Copra edible prices dropped further in an otherwise lacklustre spices market here today on selling by stockists following reduced retail demand.
Meanwhile, copra office Kozhikode recovered due to renewed offtake from stockists and exporters amidst restricted arrivals.
Other spices ruled stable in the absence of any worthwhile buying.
Copra edible Mumbai dipped by Rs 400 per quintal to Rs 13,500 from Wednesday's closing level of Rs 13,900.
However, Copra office Kozhikode climbed by Rs 100 per quintal each to Rs 10,500 as compared to Rs 10,400 yesterday.
Following are today's closing rates (in Rs with previous rates in brackets):
Black pepper (per kg) 730/780 (730/780), ginger bleached (per kg) 250 (250), ginger unbleached (per kg) 270 (270), copra office Alapuzha (per quintal) 10,600 (10,600), copra office Kozhikode (per quintal) 10,500 (10,400), copra Rajapur Mumbai (per quintal) 22,000 (22,000), copra edible Mumbai (per quintal) 13,500 (13,900).
