Cardamom brown prices fell further by Rs 10 per kg in the national capital today owing to sluggish demand from retailers and stockists amidst adequate stocks.
Cardamom brown-Jhundiwali and Kanchicut prices declined by Rs 10 each to settle at Rs 700-720 and Rs 760-1,050 per kg, respectively.
Marketmen said subdued demand from retailers and stockists against adequate stocks, mainly pulled down cardamom prices.
