Cardamom prices fell by Rs 12.70 to Rs 615.30 per kg in futures trade today due to the adequate stocks availability in the physical market on account of higher supply from the producing belts.
    
Sentiment weakened further as traders booked profits at the prevailing levels in the midst of a subdued demand for the commodity.
    
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, cardamom for delivery in December declined Rs 12.70, or 2.02 per cent, to Rs 615.30 per kg in a business turnover of 3 lots.
