Seasonal buying lifts cashew prices

Cashew prices were up by Rs 10 per kg in the national capital today largely on increased buying by retailers and stockists to meet seasonal demand.
Further, tight stocks following fall in supplies from growing regions supported the upside.

Marketmen said increased buying by retailers and stockists against restricted supplies from growing belts, mainly pushed up cashew prices.
