Cardamom prices gained 0.78% to Rs 734.20 per kg in futures trade today as speculators created fresh positions, driven by a rising demand in the spot market.

Besides, export enquiries and tight supply due to less arrivals from growing regions fuelled the uptrend.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, cardamom for delivery in December gained Rs 5.70, or 0.78%, to Rs 734.20 per kg in business turnover of 364 lots.
