Cardamom remained weak and prices fell further by 0.28% to Rs 926.50 per kg in futures trading today as speculators engaged in reducing positions, driven by subdued demand in the spot market.

Besides, adequate stocks position in the physical market on higher arrivals from producing belts put pressure on cardamom prices.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, cardamom for delivery in August fell Rs 2.60, or 0.28%, to Rs 926.50 per kg in business turnover of 63 lots.
