Black pepper and jeera prices fell by Rs 200 per quintal in the national capital today, largely due to subdued demand from retailers and exporters at existing higher prices.
Black pepper prices fell by Rs 200 to settle at Rs 23,800-24,000 per quintal.
Jeera common and jeera best quality also quoted lower at Rs 14,800-15,000 and Rs 16,900-17,200, against previous closing of Rs 15,000-15,200 and Rs 16,100-17,400 per quintal, respectively.
Market analysts said reduced offtake by retailers and exporters at existing higher levels mainly pulled down the pepper and jeera prices at the wholesale kirana market here.
