Pistachio prices declined by up to Rs 20 per kg in the national capital today owing to sluggish demand from retailers and stockists.
Pistachio hairati and peshawari fell by up to Rs 20 to close at Rs 950-1,000 and Rs 1,200-1,225 per kg, respectively.
Traders said subdued demand from retailers and stockists against adequate stocks following increased arrivals from overseas markets mainly pulled down pistachio prices in the wholesale dry fruit market here.
