Pistachio falls on subdued demand

Pistachio prices eased by Rs 10 per kg at the wholesale dry fruits market in the national capital today largely due to subdued demand from retailers and stockists.

Adequate stocks position following increased arrivals from producing regions also exerted pressure on pistachio prices.

Pistachio (hairati and peshawari) fell by Rs 10 each to conclude at Rs 1,570-1,600 and Rs 1,660-1,680 per kg, respectively.

Traders said fall in demand from retailers and stockists against increased arrivals, mainly led to the fall in pistachio prices.
