Cardamom There is no expected decline in large cardamom prices over the next 6-7 days. Due to increased purchases by stockists at current prices, last week large cardamom (Kanchikat) prices rose by ₹30, reaching ₹1850 per kilogram. Previously, on January 23, the average auction price was ₹1550/1875. This could impact market sentiment. There is no sign of any decline in cardamom prices in the spot market in the upcoming week.
