Copra falls on subdued demand

Copra prices fell by Rs 100 per quintal in the national capital today owing to subdued demand from retailers and stockists.

Increased arrivals from growing regions also weighed on the prices.

Copra prices declined by Rs 100 to settle at Rs 5,700-5,900 per quintal.

Marketmen said sluggish demand from retailers and stockists against increased arrivals from growing regions mainly pulled down copra prices.
