Cashew prices declined 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 cashew producing belts also weighed on the 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 a fall in cashew kernel prices in the wholesale dry fruit market.
