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 position 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 645-655, Rs 585-595, Rs 530-540 and Rs 425-445 per kg, respectively.
Marketmen said subdued demand from retailers and stockists against adequate stocks mainly led to a decline in cashew kernel prices at the wholesale dry fruit market here.
