Cashew prices declined by Rs 10 per kg in the national capital on Saturday owing to fall in demand from retailers and stockists.
Adequate stocks following increased arrivals from producing belts also weighed on the cashew prices.

Market analysts said subdued demand from retailers and stockists against comfortable stocks mainly led to the decline in cashew kernel prices in the wholesale dry fruit market.
