Cardamom edged higher by 0.56% to Rs 770.70 per kg in futures trade today as traders widened positions at prevailing levels, supported by pickup in demand at the spot market.
Also, tight stocks position in the physical market on fall in supplies from producing regions and some export enquiries fuelled the uptrend.
