Almond, its kernel up on retailers' demand

Almond prices rose by Rs 50 per 40 kg at the local dry fruits market today on improved demand from retailers.
However, other dry fruits held steady in thin trade.
Marketmen said scattered demand from retailers helped almond prices to trade higher.
In the national capital, almond (California) quoted higher by Rs 50 to Rs 17,250-17,450 per 40 kg. Its kernel also traded higher by Rs 5 to Rs 620-630 per kg.
