Black pepper and turmeric prices rose by up to Rs 200 per quintal in the national capital today on fresh buying by stockists as well as exporters. 

Restricted arrivals from producing belts also put pressure on the prices. Black pepper and turmeric prices rose up to Rs 200 to settle at Rs 27,600-27,800 and Rs 8,500-14,500 per quintal, respectively. 

Market analysts said buying support from stockists and exporters against restricted arrivals from producing region mainly pushed up pepper and turmeric prices in the wholesale kirana market here.
