Cashew prices declined by Rs 5 per kg in the national capital today owing to fall in demand from retailers and stockists.
Adequate stocks position on increased arrivals from the producing belts also weighed on the cashew prices.
Cashew kernel (No 180, 210, 240 and 320)prices fell by Rs 5 each to settle at Rs 540-550, Rs 490-495, Rs 435-455 and Rs 405-415 per kg, respectively.
