Copra Rajapur prices dropped in an otherwise mute spices market here today due to reduced offtake by stockists and exporters amid lower upcountry demand.
On the other hand, copra edible moved up on renewed buying from domestic consumers.
Rest of the spices ruled steady in the absence of necessary buying support.
