Cardamom prices rose by Rs 1.90 to Rs 801.50 per kg in futures trading today on the back of a pick-up in demand in the spot market against restricted arrivals.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, cardamom for July delivery gained Rs 1.90 or 0.24 per cent to Rs 801.50 per kg, with an open interest for 200 lots.

Likewise, the spice for delivery in August edged up by Rs 1.60 or 0.19 per cent to Rs 834.50 per kg in 77 lots.

Market analysts said a pick-up in demand in the spot market against limited arrivals from producing regions mainly led to the rise in cardamom futures prices.
