Pistachio falls on subdued demand

Pistachio prices drifted lower by Rs 5 per kg at the dry fruits market in the national capital today largely due to subdued demand from retailers and stockists.

Besides, adequate stocks position following increased arrivals from overseas markets put pressure on pistachio prices.

Pistachio (hairati and peshawari) fell Rs 5 each to conclude at Rs 1,380-1,450 and Rs 1,500-1,580 per kg, respectively.

Traders said sluggish demand from retailers and stockists against increased arrivals, mainly led to the fall in pistachio prices.
