On the terminal market, 31 tonnes of pepper arrived. Of these, 10 tonnes were bought by Tamil Nadu dealers at ₹430 a kg and the rest were traded at ₹430-435 a kg.
Vietnam was offering 500 GL pepper at $3,200 a tonne and 550 GL at $3,500 a tonne and at this rate there were no sellers of indigenous pepper, trade sources told BusinessLine.
Spot prices fell further by ₹300 a quintal to ₹42,400 (ungarbled) and ₹44,400 (garbled).
Export prices were at $7,175 a tonne c&f for Europe and $7,425 for the US.
