Pistachio prices fell by Rs 20 per kg in the national capital today on 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 20 each to settle at Rs 1,080-1,355 and Rs 1,280-1,430 per kg, respectively.
Traders said sluggish demand from retailers and stockists against fresh arrivals, mainly pulled down pistachio prices on the wholesale dry fruit market here.
