Copra Rajapur Mumbai slumped at the Spices market here today due to reduced demand from stockists and exporters amid lower upcountry offtake.
While, copra office Alapuzha and copra office Kozhikode prices recovered following renewed offtake from bulk consumer and upcountry buyers on back of ample arrivals from producing belts.
Meanwhile, rest of the spices ruled stable in the absence of any worthwhile large-scale buying activity.
Copra Rajapur dropped by Rs 2,000 per quintal to Rs 20,000 from overnight closing level of Rs 22,000.
However, copra office Alapuzha and copra Kozhikode climbed by Rs 100 per quintal each to Rs 9,400 and Rs 9,200 as against Rs 9,300 and Rs 9,100 yesterday.
