Amid profit-booking by speculators at current levels, cardamom prices eased 0.62 per cent to Rs 792 per kg in futures trade today.
Further, slackened demand at the spot market influenced cardamom prices.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, cardamom for delivery in September fell by Rs 5, or 0.62 per cent, to Rs 792 per kg in business turnover of 56 lots.
