Jeera prices declined by Rs 100 per quintal in the national capital today due to subdued demand from retailers and stockists amid adequate stocks. 

Jeera common and best prices declined by Rs 100 to settle at Rs 14,900-15,000 and Rs 16,900-17,100 per quintal, respectively.   

Market analysts said subdued demand from retailers and stockists amid adequate stocks, mainly led to the fall in jeera prices in the wholesale kirana market here. 

Weak trend in futures trade and increased arrivals from producing belts also put pressure on the jeera prices, they added.
