Black pepper and jeera prices were up by Rs 100 per quintal in the national capital today on fresh buying by stockists and exporters amid low stocks.
Black pepper prices rose by Rs 100 to settle at Rs 28,100-28,300 per quintal on fresh buying by retailers due to domestic and export demand.
Jeera common and jeera best quality also traded higher at Rs 14,000-14,300 and Rs 16,200-16,300 against the previous closing of Rs 13,900-14,200 and Rs 16,100-16,200 per quintal, respectively.
Traders said the sentiment turned better following rising domestic and export demand against restricted arrivals from producing belts, which pushed up pepper and jeera prices at the wholesale kirana market here.

Ajwain 17,500-23,000, black pepper common 28,100-28,300, betelnut (kg) 110-120, cardamom brown-Jhundiwali (kg) 900-920 and cardamom brown-Kanchicut (kg) 1,020-1,150.
