Pistachio rises on fresh buying support

Pistachio prices rose up to Rs 50 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 peshwari traded higher up to Rs 50 to settle at Rs 1,150-1,250 and Rs 1,375-1,425 per kg, respectively.

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