Export Oriented Production of Spices

The various programmes implemented under the
scheme export oriented production of spices during
the year 2014-15 are detailed below.
A. Cardamom (small)
Small cardamom is grown mainly in the Western
Ghats of Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The
majority of the cardamom holdings are small and
marginal. The total area under small cardamom
during 2014-15 was 69770 ha. with an estimated
production of 18000 MT. as against 16000 MT in
2013-14. The programmes implemented for the
development of small cardamom are given below:
(i) Replanting
The objective of this programme is to address the
issue of old and uneconomic plantations of small
cardamom in the states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu
and Karnataka. This programme is intended to
encourage small and marginal growers to take
up replantation of the old, senile and uneconomic

(iii) Irrigation and Land Development
Irrigation during summer months is very much
essential in cardamom plantations for getting higher
yield. This programme aims promoting irrigation in
cardamom plantation through augmenting water
resources in cardamom plantations by constructing
irrigation structures like farm ponds, tanks, wells,
rain water harvest devices, installation of irrigation
equipments and soil conservation works. The Board
is implementing the programme in the States of
Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
a) Construction of Irrigation structures

(iv) Improved Cardamom Curing Devices for
Small Cardamom
Cardamom is dried in traditional curing houses
XVLQJ UHZRRG DV IXHO 6XQ GU\LQJ LV QRW SRSXODU
due to the loss of green colour during the process.
Wood is also required for the construction of
curing houses, racks to spread the cardamom and
to provide false ceiling in the curing houses to
preserve the heat. As the productivity in cardamom
is registering an upward trend year after year, the

Nowadays modern improved cardamom curing
systems using alternate fuels, viz. Diesel, LP Gas
are available for drying cardamom resulting in

driers are Eco-friendly, labour saving and easy to
operate. The drying time is reduced from 28
36 hrs. to about 20 hours in these driers. The
objective of the programme is to popularize the
improved cardamom curing devices [drier] among
the small growers of Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil
Nadu by providing 33.33 percent of the actual cost
of drier as subsidy subject to a maximum of ` 1.00
lakh per dryer. Spices Board has enrolled a list of
manufacturers with upper ceiling cost for driers of
various models/capacities enabling the farmers to
purchase the model of their choice.

C. Other North Eastern States
Large cardamom, Pepper, Chilli, Ginger and Turmeric
are extensively cultivated in the North Eastern
States. Some of the indigenous varieties viz., Nadia
in Ginger, Lakadong / Megha in Turmeric and Birds
eye and Naga in chillies are considered rich in oil,
curcumin and capsaicin content respectively. The
agro-climatic conditions prevailing in NE States
are suitable for the cultivation of pepper, large
cardamom, ginger, chilli, turmeric etc. and these

for making available more spices for export. The
greatest advantage of the spices produced in these
regions is that, they are grown adopting indigenous
cultivation practices. The major constraints noticed
in the development of spices in NE region are lack
of know-how on cultivation, post harvest practices
and lack of organized marketing system. Spices
Board, therefore, is implementing an integrated
scheme for the development of spices in North
East.
(i) Large Cardamom New Planting
Large cardamom is traditionally cultivated in Sikkim
and Darjeeling District of West Bengal. The agroclimatic conditions prevailing in other NE States
particularly in Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland are
suitable for cultivation of large cardamom. There is
scope for expanding area under large cardamom in
Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland.
The scheme envisages to expand large cardamom
cultivation in these states by providing ` 28000
per ha. as subsidy towards 33.33 percent cost
of planting and maintenance during gestation
period. The subsidy is paid in two equal annual
installments.
During 2014-15, 488.90 ha were brought under
ODUJH &DUGDPRP FXOWLYDWLRQ DQG UVW LQVWDOOPHQW

been trained on sucker nursery production.
(iii) Rainwater Harvesting
The programme is intended for promoting rain
water harvesting by constructing devices made of
earth excavated pits lined with silpauline sheets
for facilitating the irrigation of large cardamom
plantations. The cost of such a device having
a capcity of 200 m3 is estimated to be around
` 36,000 (` 24,000 for excavation work and
` 12,000 for silpauline sheets). A farmer is eligible
to construct storage tank of his actual requirement
/ convenience, but the subsidy will be limited
to 33.33 percent of the actual expenditure and
proportionate to the water holding capacity of the
structure or ` 12,000 whichever is less.

(i) Seed spice Threshers

The harvesting and post harvest practices followed
by seed spice growers are unhygienic which result
in contamination of the products with foreign
matters like stalks, dirt, sand, stem bits etc. The
seeds are separated by beating the harvested and
dried plants with bamboo sticks or rubbing the
plants manually by hand or trampling under the
feet of the cattle. In order to separate the seeds
from the dried plants and to produce clean spices,
Board popularizes the use of threshers which are
operated manually or with power.

B. Codex Committee on Contaminants in
Food (CCCF)
A Conference Room Document (CRD) in support to
WKH,QGLDQSURSRVDORQPD[LPXPOLPLWRIDDWR[LQ
in spices to CCCF8 was prepared by the Codex Cell
of Spices Board and submitted at the eighth Session
of the Codex Committee on Contaminants in Food
&&&) DQG WKH %RDUGV RFLDO ZDV GHSXWHG DV
part of the Indian Delegation to the eight session
of CCCF at The Hague, Netherlands from 31st
March 2014 to 4th April 2014.
India was assigned with the responsibility to lead
an Electronic Working Group under the CCCF to
conduct a review to prioritize the mycotoxins and
spices for the establishment of MLs. Consequently,
an eWG chaired by a scientist of the Codex team of
Spices Board and co-chaired by the European Union
and Indonesia was constituted. Data from various
43
SPICES BOARD
eWG members were obtained and a priority list of

spices and the mycotoxins present was prepared
based on which a Discussion paper on mycotoxin
contamination in spices for possible prioritization of
work was developed.
During CCCF9 held in New Delhi, India, from 16th to
20th0DUFKZKLFKZDVDWWHQGHGE\WKHRFLDOV
of Spices Board as part of the Indian Delegation,
the paper was discussed. Some countries expressed
their support for the proposed priority list and some
RWKHUVKDGVXJJHVWHGPRGLFDWLRQVLQWKHOLVW7KH
Committee asked the eWG to continue and improve
the work and submit the discussion paper in the
next CCCF session. The decisions of this eWG are
very important in determining the preference given
to each spice to be taken up for setting mycotoxin
limits under the committee.
Apart from the above mentioned eWG chaired by
,QGLDRFLDOVIURP6SLFHV%RDUGZHUHQRPLQDWHGDV
members of two more eWGs, viz., Revision of the
maximum levels for Lead in the General Standard
for Contaminants and Toxins in Food and Feed
and Code of Practice on Mycotoxin Contamination
LQ 6SLFHV LQFOXGLQJ VSHFLF DQQH[HV. These
eWGs were indeed very helpful in identifying the
major risk factors faced by the spice trade industry
and the methods to control these issues.
C. Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues
(CCPR)
The Codex cell of the Board coordinated the initiatives
towards generating GAP trial and monitoring data in
spices for submission to JMPR in continuation with
WKHSDUWLFLSDWLRQRI%RDUGVRFLDOLQWKH&&35LQ
2013 as a member of Indian delegation. The Codex
Cell in association with the curry leaf exporters/
farmers procured about 130 samples of dried curry
leaves and forwarded them for further pesticide
residue analysis to four laboratories; viz., Kerala
Agricultural University, Tamil Nadu Agricultural
University, Andhra Pradesh NG Ranga Agricultural
University and the Quality Evaluation Laboratory
of the Board. The results from these labs were
compiled by the Residue Research and Analytical
Laboratory under the All India Network Project on
Pesticide Residues, Kerala Agricultural University
44
and were submitted to Network Coordinator, AINP

on Pesticide Residues, New Delhi.
The 46th Session of CCPR meeting at Nanjing, China
during 5th May to 10th May 2014 was attended by
DQ RFLDO IURP WKH %RDUG DV SDUW RI WKH ,QGLDQ
Delegation. Based on the interventions made in
the meeting, it was proposed to conduct a meeting
with the institutes and persons concerned with the
generation of the GAP trial and monitoring data
for pesticide residues in spices which has to be
provided to JMPR in light of the decisions of CCPR
45 and 46 and actions initiated thereof. On this
account a meeting was convened by the Codex
cell on 12th July 2014. Assistant Director General
(Plant protection), Network Coordinator, AINP on
Pesticide Residues and the senior scientists from
the laboratories involved in the sample analysis
participated in the meeting along with the senior
RFLDOVRIWKH%RDUG
In the meeting, a clear idea was developed on the
data to be generated by each organization and the
submission of monitoring data for Dithiocarbamates
(including Mancozeb, Ferbam, Maneb, Metiram,
Propineb, Thiram, Ziram, Zineb) Residues in seed
and fruit / berry spices for JMPR evaluation and
collection of curry leaf samples were assigned to
the Spices Board and all the tasks were completed
in time by the active participation of the Codex
team.
Apart from the work done for data generation, the
Codex team actively participated in various eWGs
under CCPR namely eWG on Criteria for Methods
of Analysis for the Determination of Pesticide
Residues, eWG on Minor Crops and eWG on
Priorities. They were able to protect the countrys
interests by making timely interventions in each of
the aforesaid committees.
D. Codex Committee on Food Hygiene (CCFH)
Codex cell of Spices Board has been an active
participant in the electronic working groups under

development of standards.
G. Codex Committee on General Principles
(CCGP)
CCGP is the committee that deals with the
policy making and general principles related to
the functioning of Codex. The Agenda No. 6 of
the 29th session of CCGP had some points that
opposed the establishment of CCSCH. It observed
that the establishment of CCSCH was against the
recommendations put forward by the CCGP which
mentioned that instead of a new committee, a
task force or expanding the scope of an existing
