Cashew prices drifted by Rs 5 per kg in the national capital today owing to fall in demand from retailers and stockists. Sufficient stocks 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 635-655, Rs 585-610, Rs 535-560 and Rs 490-540 per kg, respectively.
Market analysts said subdued demand from retailers and stockists against adequate stocks mainly led to a fall in cashew kernel prices on the wholesale dry fruits market.
