Pistachio prices eased by Rs 5 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 5 each to settle at Rs 1,575-1,605 and Rs 1,665-1,685 per kg, respectively.
