New Delhi, 26 October (NNS):  Reports indicate that the first crop from Nepal, the main supplying country, has been weaker than normal, while arrivals in the producing markets have not yet picked up significantly. Consequently, there is no substantial pressure from excess supplies in the market. Fresh crop arrivals are continuing in the mandis. Demand for large cardamom remains steady in the domestic market ahead of the November–December festive season and the onset of winter. In Delhi, Kangra-cut large cardamom prices surged by Rs 120 per kg within a week to reach Rs 1650/1680 per kg. Only around 20–30% of the total crop has reached the major producing and trading markets of Sikkim and Siliguri so far. In view of the festive season and approaching winter, the outlook for large cardamom remains favourable.
