Cashew declines on subdued demand

NEW DELHI, May 27: Cashew prices fell by Rs 10 per kg in the national capital today owing to sluggish demand from retailers and stockists amid adequate stocks.
Increased arrivals from producing belts against slackened demand from bulk consumers also weighed pressure on the cashew prices.
Cashew kernel (No 180, 210, 240 and 230) prices fell by Rs 10 each to settle at Rs 1,070-1,080, Rs 940-950, Rs 890-900 and Rs 790-800 per kg, respectively.
Marketmen said low demand from retailers and stockists at prevailing higher levels against increased arrivals, weighed on cashew prices.
