Pistachio declines on subdued demand

Pistachio prices fell by Rs 5 per kg at the wholesale dry fruits market in the national capital today largely due to fall in demand from retailers and stockists.

Adequate stocks position following increased arrivals from producing regions too put pressure on pistachio prices.

Pistachio (hairati and peshawari) were down by Rs 5 each to settle at Rs 1,565-1,595 and Rs 1,655-1,675 per kg, respectively.

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