Pistachio prices declined by up to Rs 30 per kg in the national capital today owing to sluggish demand from retailers and stockists.

Adequate stocks following increased arrivals from the overseas markets also put pressure on pistachio prices.

Pistachio hairati and peshawari fell by up to Rs 30 to settle at Rs 1,000-1,050 and Rs 1,250-1,300 per kg, respectively.

Traders said subdued demand from retailers and stockists mainly weighed on the prices.
