MUMBAI (Commoditiescontrol) – Tight availability of spot pepper pushed up its prices on Friday.
No sellers were forthcoming to part with their produce at the current rates and that in turn has created a scarcity of the indigenous pepper, trade sources said.
Only 6 tonnes of pepper arrived at the terminal market today from the high ranges and that were traded at Rs 340 a kg.
Coorg (Karnataka) sellers who have withdrawn from the markets, were quoting Rs 330-335-340 a kg while sellers of Pulpally and Bathery (Wayanad) pepper were demanding Rs 340-Rs 345 per kg, they said.
Spot pepper prices moved up by Rs 100 a quintal to close at Rs 33,400 (ungarbled) and Rs 35,400 (garbled) a quintal.
Indian parity in the international markets moved up to $5,375 a tonne c&f for Europe and $5,625 a tonne c&f for USA.
