Copra and walnut prices rose in the wholesale dry fruits market today on pick up in retailers demand.
Chilgoza, however, lacked necessary buying support and declined.
Copra moved up by Rs 200 to Rs 7,900-8,000 per quintal. Walnut and walnut kernel were also in demand and advanced by Rs 20 and Rs 23 to Rs 185-250 and Rs 475-725 per kg, respectively.
On the other hand, chilgoza declined by Rs 100 to Rs 1,600-1,700 per quintal.
Traders said pick up in retailers demand and firming trend in producing regions mainly pushed up copra and walnut prices.
