Cashew prices rose by Rs 5 per kg in the national capital today largely on the back of fresh buying by retailers and stockists amid low stocks.
Tight supplies from growing regions due to slowdown in production and strong overseas enquiries also supported the upside in prices.
Cashew kernel No 180, No 210, No 240 and No 320 rose by Rs 5 to settled at Rs 700-710, Rs 630-650, Rs 590-620 and Rs 535-585 per kg, respectively.
Market analysts said increased buying by retailers and stockists against tight supplies from producing belts mainly pushed up cashew prices in the wholesale dryfruit market here.
