The data shows that new arecanut lost ₹10 per kg at both ends of the price range on August 14 compared with the preceding four trading days.
Chole and Double Chole remain firm
Chole arecanut and Double Chole remained unchanged throughout the reported period at ₹525–₹550 per kg. The stability in these grades contrasts with the movement in new arecanut and indicates that the weekly correction was limited to the new arecanut category in the CAMPCO Puttur rate list.

What the week's numbers indicate
The August 10–14 data points to a largely stable market at the CAMPCO Puttur level, rather than a broad-based price movement. The main change was the ₹10-per-kg correction in new arecanut on Friday, while Chole and Double Chole remained firm. Pepper also showed only a marginal change in its upper price range, while cocoa, fatora, onion and karigote prices remained unchanged.
However, these figures should be read as CAMPCO Puttur branch rates and not as a uniform market price for every trader or lot. CAMPCO's notes state that arecanut prices depend on size and quality, while pepper prices can vary according to moisture and litre weight. Fresh and dry cocoa prices are also determined according to quality.
