Turmeric and jeera prices fell by Rs 200 per 100 kg each in the national capital today on the back of slowdown in demand at prevailing higher levels.
Weak trend in futures trade and increased arrivals from the producing belts also put pressure on the prices. Turmeric prices fell by Rs 200 to settle at Rs 16,300- 19,800 per quintal.
Jeera common and jeera best quality also traded lower at Rs 14,100-14,300 and Rs 15,100-15,700, against the previous closing of Rs 14,300-14,500 and Rs 15,300-15,900 per quintal, respectively.
