Cashew prices declined by Rs 5 per kg in the national capital today owing to fall in demand from retailers and stockists.
Sufficient stocks in the market following increased arrivals from producing belts also weighed on the cashew prices.
Cashew kernel (No 180, 210, 240 and 230) prices fell by Rs 5 each to settle at Rs 645-665, Rs 595-620, Rs 545-570 and Rs 495-545 per kg respectively.
Market analysts said subdued demand from retailers and stockists against adequate stocks mainly led to the fall in cashew kernel prices in the wholesale dry fruits market.
