Pistachio prices drifted by Rs 10 per kg in the national capital today on the back of sluggish demand from retailers and stockists.
Adequate stocks position followed by increased arrivals from overseas markets also put pressure on pistachio prices.
Pistachio (hairati and peshawari) eased by Rs 10 to settle at Rs 1,140-1,190 and Rs 1,440-1,490 per kg, respectively.
Traders said sluggish demand from retailers and stockists against fresh arrivals, mainly pulled down pistachio prices.
