Adequate stocks position following increased arrivals from overseas markets also put pressure on pistachio prices.
Pistachio (hairati and peshawari) eased by Rs 10 to settle at Rs 1,360-1,390 and Rs 1,490-1,540 per kg, respectively.
Traders said sluggish demand from retailers and stockists against fresh arrivals mainly led to the fall in pistachio prices at the wholesale dry fruit market here.
Following are today's quotations (per 40 kg):
Almond (California) Rs 20,700, Almond (Gurbandi-new) Rs 8,400-8,600; Almond (Girdhi) Rs 6,700-6,800; Abjosh Afghani Rs 14,000-20,000.
