Cashew declines on subdued demand

NEW DELHI, Aug 18: Cashew prices fell by Rs 5 per kg at the wholesale dry fruit market 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 Rs 5 each to conclude at Rs 1,070-1,075, Rs 965-975, Rs 865-875 and Rs 765-775 per kg, respectively.
