Pistachio prices rose up to Rs 25 per kg in the national capital today largely on the back of fresh buying support from retailers and stockists on rising domestic demand.

Fall in supplies from overseas markets also supported the upside in prices.

Pistachio hairati and peshawari traded higher up to Rs 25 to settle at Rs 1,125-1,225 and Rs 1,360-1,410 per kg, respectively.

Market analysts said increased demand from retailers and stockists, due to domestic demand against fall in supplies from overseas markets mainly pushed up pistachio prices on the wholesale dry fruit market here.
