Pistachio prices drifted by Rs 10 per kg in the national capital today, largely due to a sluggish demand from retailers and stockists at existing higher levels.
Adequate stocks, 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 1,130-1,210 and Rs 1,250-1,405 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) Rs 10,300-10,900 Almond (gurbandi-new) Rs 4,600-4,700 almond (girdhi) Rs 2,400-2,500 and Abjosh Afghani Rs 6,000-15,000
