Adequate stocks position following increased arrivals from overseas markets also put pressure on pistachio prices.
Pistachio (hairati and peshawari) fell by Rs 5 each to settle at Rs 1,370-1,440 and Rs 1,490-1,515 per kg, respectively.
Traders said low demand from retailers and stockists against increased arrivals mainly led to the fall in pistachio prices.
Following are today's quotations (per 40 kg):
Almond (California) Rs 22,200, Almond (Gurbandi-new) Rs 8,200-8,300; Almond (Girdhi) Rs 6,200-6,300; Abjosh Afghani Rs 15,000-25,000.
