Cashew prices rose by up to Rs 10 a kg in the national capital on Saturday largely on the back of fresh buying by retailers and stockists amid low stocks. Tight supplies from growing regions and strong overseas enquiries also supported the upside in prices. Cashew kernel No 210 and 240 rose by upto Rs 10 each to conclude at Rs 640-660 and Rs 595-625 a kg.

Market analysts said fresh buying by retailers and stockists against tight supplies from producing belts mainly pushed up cashew prices in the wholesale dry fruit market here.
