Pistachio prices rose up to Rs 25 per kg in the national capital on Saturday largely on the back of increased buying by retailers and stockists amid low stocks. Fall in supplies from overseas markets also supported the rise in prices.
Pistachio Irani, hairati and peshwari rose up to Rs 25 to conclude at Rs 1,020-1,125, Rs 880-925 and Rs 1,010-1,050 per kg, respectively.
Marketmen said fresh buying by retailers and stockists against fall in supplies from overseas markets, mainly pushed up pistachio prices on the dry fruit market here.
