Pistachio prices rose by Rs 10 per kg in the national capital today largely on the back of increased buying by retailers and stockists to meet rising demand amid low stocks following fall in supplies from overseas markets.
Pistachio hairati and peshwari traded Rs 10 each higher to conclude at Rs 1,405-1,505 and Rs 1,505-1,605 per kg, respectively.
Marketmen said fresh buying by retailers and stockists against tight supplies from overseas markets, mainly pushed up pistachio prices on the dry fruit market here.
The following were today's quotations (per 40 kg):
Almond (California) Rs 17,600 Almond (Gurbandi-new) Rs 8,200-8,400; Almond (Girdhi) Rs 4,500-4,800; Abjosh Afghani Rs 8,000-22,000.
