New Delhi, 15 October (NNS): There were around 1.5 lakh bags of small cardamom reported to be high in all the auction centres, due to this, the prices of Samudra variety to decline by Rs 100/150 per kg over the past two to three days. Notably, prices had already fallen by Rs 100 over the preceding five to six days. Although export demand is reportedly good at these levels, demand from domestic consumption-based industries has not been encouraging, due to this, the availability of the new crop reported to be constant. Consequently, the market has started declining again. Here, prices for 1 kg packaging have fallen to Rs 2500 per kg, while those for 500-gram packaging are quoted at Rs 2600 per kg. The prices of premium quality material also being quoted at Rs 2750 per kg. The prices of 7.5 mm small cardamom have reached Rs 2950 per kg.
