Cashew prices declined up to Rs 10 per kg in the national capital today, owing to reduced offtake by retailers and stockists at existing higher levels.
Adequate stocks, following increased arrivals from producing belts also weighed on cashew prices.
Cashew kernel (No 180, 210, 240 and 320) prices fell by Rs 5 each to settle at Rs 620-660, Rs 595-600, Rs 540-550 and Rs 435-500 per kg, respectively.
Analysts said subdued demand from retailers and stockists against adequate stocks led to the decline in cashew kernel prices at the wholesale dry fruit market.
