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 1,340-1,440 and Rs 1,490-1,590 per kg, respectively.
Traders said subdued demand from retailers and stockists against fresh arrivals, mainly led to the fall in pistachio prices on the wholesale dry fruit market here.
The following are today's quotations (per 40 kg):
Almond (California) Rs 17,400 Almond (Gurbandi-new) Rs 8,000-8,300; Almond (Girdhi) Rs 4,100-4,400; Abjosh Afghani Rs 8,000-22,000.
