Cashew rises on buying support

Cashew prices rose by Rs 5 per kg at the dry fruit market in the national capital today on increased buying by retailers and stockists amid low stocks.

Furthermore, fall in supplies from growing regions supported the upside in prices.

Cashew kernel No 180, No 210, No 240 and No 320 rose by Rs 5 each to conclude at Rs 1,080-1,090, Rs 955-975 Rs 900-935 and Rs 825-850 per kg, respectively.

Marketmen said increased buying by retailers and stockists against restricted supplies from growing belts, mainly pushed up cashew prices to rise.
