Cardamom prices up on fresh buying

Cardamom prices rose by Rs 10 per kg at the wholesale kirana market in the national capital today largely on rising demand from retailers and stockists amid paucity of stocks.
Cardamom brown Jhundiwali and brown-Kanchicut were up by Rs 10 each to Rs 630-660 and Rs 710-1,010 per kg, respectively.
Marketmen said rising domestic as well as export demand against paucity of stocks mainly weighed on cardamom prices.
