NEW DELHI, Oct 10: Dry ginger and kalaunji prices rose by Rs 500 per quintal in the national capital today largely supported by fall in supplies from producing belts against rising demand from local parties and stockists.
Furthermore, export enquiries supported the upside.
Dry ginger and kalaunji prices edged higher by Rs 500 each to conclude at Rs 22,500-26,500 and Rs 22,000-23,500 per quintal, respectively.
Buying by stockists and exporters against fall in supplies from producing belts, mainly pushed up dry ginger and kalaunji prices at the wholesale kirana market here, traders said.
