Pistachio prices declined by Rs five per kg in the national capital today owing to sluggish demand from retailers and stockists.
Adequate stocks following increased arrivals from overseas markets also put pressure on pistachio prices.
Pistachio hairati and peshawari fell by Rs five each to settle at Rs 995-1,115 and Rs 1,295-1,345 per kg respectively.
Traders said subdued demand from retailers and stockists mainly weighed on the prices.
