Pistachio prices declined by Rs 5 per kg in the national capital today owing to sluggish demand from retailers and stockists.
Adequate stocks position following increased arrivals from overseas markets also put pressure on pistachio prices. Pistachio hairati and peshawari fell by Rs 5 to settle at Rs 995-1,045 and Rs 1,220-1,270 per kg, respectively.
Traders said subdued demand from retailers and stockists mainly pulled down pistachio prices in the wholesale dry fruit market here.
