Black pepper and turmeric prices fell by Rs 100 per quintal each in the national capital today due to subdued domestic and export demand.
Weak trend in futures trade and increased arrivals from producing belts mainly put pressure on the prices.
Black pepper and turmeric prices declined by Rs 100 each to settle at Rs 20,400-20,600 and Rs 15,100-18,300 per quintal, respectively.
Marketmen said subdued domestic and export demand at prevailing higher prices, mainly attributed to the fall in pepper and turmeric prices on the wholesale kirana market here.
