Cardamom prices rose by Rs 9.90 to Rs 1,124.90 per kg in futures trade today as speculators enlarged their positions, supported by pick-up in spot demand.
Tight arrivals from the producing regions further influenced cardamom futures prices.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, cardamom for delivery in May recovered by Rs 9.90, or 0.89% to Rs 1,124.90 per kg, with a business turnover of three lots.
Similarly, the spices for delivery in April moved up by Rs 5.90, or 0.53%, to Rs 1,111 per kg, with an open interest of a single lot.
