Pistachio prices drifted by Rs 10 per kg in the national capital today largely on the back of 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) eased by Rs 10 each to settle at Rs 1,115-1,210 and Rs 1,315-1,460 per kg, respectively.
Traders said subdued demand from retailers and stockists against fresh arrivals, mainly pulled down pistachio prices on the wholesale dry fruit market here.

Almond (California) new Rs 11,100 Almond (gurbandi-new) Rs 4,600-4,700 almond (girdhi) Rs 2,400-2,500 and Abjosh Afghani Rs 7,000-16,000
