ginger.
INDIAN SPICES
India has traditionally been known for its spice and culinary herb production. It is one of
the largest spice producing and consuming country. Its strategic location, climatic conditions,
advanced production processes and availability of cheap labour makes it advantageous for the
producers to ensure large scale production in quality herbs and spices. India is one of the major
exporters of spices among the competitors of the spice industry.
India is known as the home of spices and boasts of a long history of trading with the
ancient civilizations of Rome and China. Today, Indian spices are the most sought-after globally,
given their exquisite aroma, texture and taste. India has the largest domestic market for spices in
the world. India is the world's largest producer and exporter of spices of the 109 varieties listed
by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), as the country produces and exports

coriander, cumin, fennel, fenugreek, celery, nutmeg and mace garlic, tamarind and vanilla.

blends and seasonings are also exported.
CURRENT SCENARIO
In order to make available sufficient quantity of quality spices for export, the
Government is implementing programmes for post-harvest improvement and organic cultivation
of spices .It undertakes export promotion activities for all 52 spices which include marketing as
well as removing hindrance and barricades to export. The Indian spice industry is booming with
a substantial increase in exports over the past few years. India accounts for nearly 45% and 30%
in terms of volume and value in the world spice trade. The booming global spice market also
poses good opportunities for the Indian spice industry to provide quality spices at competitive
prices. India faces stiff competition from China, Malaysia and Pakistan in terms of pricing of the
products. Manufacturers should therefore ensure consistency in supply, product quality, pricing
and marketing strategy to increase the share in exports.
Producers are incorporating latest methods and technologies to ensure higher quality of
spices and herbs. India is one of the prime exporters of pepper, chilies’, turmeric, seed spices and
spice derivatives to the rest of the world. USA, EU, Japan and Srilanka import these Indian
spices in large volumes.
Spice derivatives can be categorized into spice oil, oleoresins and essential oils. The
demand for spice derivatives is also increasing due to the hygiene, standardization and
consistency factor. India contributes nearly 70% to the world spice derivative market. It exports
largely to the US, EU etc. Indian southern states including Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu
provide concentrated oils and oleoresins for use in perfumery, pharmaceuticals, foods processing
and industrial chemical industry.
India produces 2.5 million tons to 3 million tons of spices annually. India produces spices
of different categories worth around US$ 3 billion. In terms of volume and value, India
accounted for 46 % and 23 % in value of global spice trade. (Source: Spices Board India) India
accounts for 25-30% of world’s pepper production, 35 % of ginger and about 90% of turmeric
production.
At present India produces around 2.5 million tons of different spice valued at
approximately 3 million US dollar, and hold the premier position in the world. Because of the
varying climate suitable for the spice cultivation almost all spices are grown in this country. In
almost all the 28 states and six union territories of India, at least one spice is grown in
abundance. No country in the world produces as much variety of spices as India.
During 2013-14, spices and spice products valued at US$ 2,267.67 million has been
exported from the country as against US$ 2,212.13 million in 2012-13, which is an increase of 3
per cent.

million as compared to US$ 1,073.85 in the same period in 2013.In the same period; cardamom
registered a growth in value of 68 per cent from the exports. Other spices with notable growth
include coriander, cumin, pepper and curry powders with rates of 52 per cent, 35 per cent, 30 per
cent and 29 per cent respectively.
