Red chilli and jeera prices fell by Rs 100 per quintal each in the national capital today owing to weak local and export demand at existing higher prices.
Adequate stocks following increased arrivals from producing belts also weighed on the prices. Red chilli prices fell by Rs 100 to settle at Rs 4,800- 8,900 per quintal.
Jeera common and jeera best quality also declined to Rs 14,200-14,500 and Rs 15,300-15,800 against previous closing of Rs 14,300-14,600 and Rs 15,400-15,900 per quintal, respectively.
Marketmen said sufficient stocks following increased arrivals from producing belts mainly pulled down chilli and jeera prices on the wholesale kirana market here.
Expectations of higher sowing following better weather also put pressure, they said.
Following are today's quotations (per quintal):
