Cashew prices declined by Rs 5 per kg in the national capital today owing to fall in demand from retailers and stockists at existing higher levels.
Adequate stocks following increased arrivals from producing belts, also weighed on the cashew prices.
Cashew kernel (No 180, 210, 240 and 320) prices fell by Rs 5 each to settle at Rs 620-650, Rs 590-600, Rs 520-540 and Rs 440-475 per kg, respectively.
Marketmen said subdued demand from retailers and stockists against adequate stocks, mainly led to decline in cashew kernel prices at the wholesale dry fruit market.

Almond (California) Rs 10,000-10,300 Almond (gurbandi-new) Rs 4,800-4,900 almond (girdhi) Rs 2,450-2,600 and Abjosh Afghani Rs 6,000-15,000 Almond kernel in per kg (California) Rs 360-365, almond kernel (gurbandi-new) (kg) Rs 300-350
