Cashew declines on subdued demand

NEW DELHI, Mar 31: Cashew prices fell by Rs 5 per kg at the wholesale dry fruits market in the national capital today owing to sluggish demand from retailers and stockists amid adequate stocks.
Increased arrivals from producing regions against slackened demand from bulk consumers also weighed pressure on the cashew prices.
Cashew kernel (No 180, 210, 240 and 230) prices fell Rs 5 each to settle at Rs 1,075-1,085, Rs 970-985, Rs 875-885 and Rs 785-795 per kg, respectively.
