Chilli and turmeric prices fell up to Rs 200 per quintal in the national capital today, owing to weak local and export demand at existing high prices.
Chilli prices fell by Rs 100 to settle at Rs 6,900-12,400 per quintal.
Turmeric prices also traded lower at Rs 13,300-17,300 as against previous closing of Rs 13,500-17,500 per quintal.
Market analysts said reduced offtake by stockists and exporters at existing higher levels mainly pulled down chilli and turmeric prices at the wholesale kirana market here.
