Cashew prices fell by Rs 5 per kg in the national capital today, owing to sluggish demand from retailers and stockists.
Adequate stocks position following increased arrivals from 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 630-640, Rs 595-605, Rs 530-540 and Rs 445-465 per kg, respectively.
Market analysts said reduced offtake by retailers and stockists, against adequate stocks mainly led to decline in cashew kernel prices at the wholesale dry fruit market here.
