Pistachio prices edge up by Rs 5 per kg in delhi

Pistachio prices edged up by Rs 5 per kg at the wholesale dry fruits market in the national capital Wednesday largely on the back of rising demand from retailers and stockists amid a scarcity of stocks.

Prices of pistachio hairati and Peshwari rose Rs 5 each to conclude at Rs 1,580-1,620 and Rs 1,670-1,700 per kg, respectively.

Marketmen said rising demand from retailers and stockists against restricted arrivals from overseas markets mainly pushed up pistachio prices.
