Cashew declines on subdued demand

Cashew prices fell by Rs 5 per kg at the dry fruits market in the national capital today owing to sluggish demand from retailers and stockists amid adequate stocks.

Marketmen said increased arrivals from producing belts against slackened demand from bulk consumers also weighed on the cashew prices.

Cashew kernel (No 180, 210, 240 and 230) prices fell Rs 5 each to conclude at Rs 1,075-1,085, Rs 950-980, Rs 920-935 and Rs 825-835 per kg, respectively.
