Spices & Condiments Pepper improves on buying interest
G K Nair Kochi, Aug. 30 Pepper futures market on Thursday improved after falling in recent days on some buying interest. All the contracts moved up by over Rs 200 a quintal. Those sold earlier wanted to buy back but they could not do so, as the exporters were covering daily when the prices were on the decline during past few days. Indonesia, where harvesting has begun, also reduced its prices to $3,250-3,350 a tonnes (f.o.b.), while Indian parity was also at this level but on c&f. Some good quantity of 400 GL reported to have been bought by Indian extractors from Indonesia. International market remained steady. However, some of the bulls reported that some good quantity was sold to the US market. Traders rejected this claim. CONTRACT POSITION
