Amid profit-booking by speculators at prevailing levels, cardamom fell 0.59 per cent to Rs 812.30 per kg in futures trading today.
Besides, subdued demand against adequate stocks in the physical market following increased arrivals from producing belts put pressure on cardamom prices.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, cardamom for delivery in September fell Rs 4.90, or 0.59 per cent, to Rs 812.30 per kg in a business turnover of 390 lots.
Similarly, the spice for delivery in October traded lower by Rs 4.60, or 0.56 per cent, to Rs 813.70 per kg in 7 lots.
Market analysts attributed the fall in cardamom futures to profit-booking by speculators at existing levels amid sluggish demand at the spot market.
