NEW DELHI, Feb 22: Pistachio prices declined by Rs 5 per kg in the national capital today largely due to subdued demand from retailers and stockists.
Adequate stocks position following increased arrivals from overseas markets also put pressure on pistachio prices.
Pistachio (hairati and peshawari) eased by Rs 5 to settle at Rs 1,340-1,440 and Rs 1,490-1,590 per kg, respectively.

Almond (California) Rs 18,300 Almond (Gurbandi-new) Rs 8,000-8,300; Almond (Girdhi) Rs 4,500-4,800; Abjosh Afghani Rs 8,000-22,000.
