especially in southern India. The most popular spices from India is Malabar black pepper which is
cultivated in the state of Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
India harvests most of its pepper at the beginning of year. During 2012, production of pepper in India
was 43,000 tons registering the lowest during the last decades. The highest production was 80,000 tons
achieved in 2002. The decrease in production was due to pests and diseases problems, existence of old
and unproductive vines. During 2012 Indian exports of pepper was 18,401 mt, the lowest in the last
eight years. As against the highest of 46,437 mt in 1999, the export was only 28% and 85% from the

Kg/hectare in 2003-04.
Indian cardamom market
India holds the credit of being the country that, for the very first time, discovered cardamom and
made it famous in the world. The country has been a key player in each an every context related
to cardamom whether it is production, consumption or deciding prices. The countrys earliest
medical references found out the healing properties in cardamom and also found out its uses in
medicines and other preparations. Cardamom has also been related to spirituality of the people in
the country as this was the spice that was offered in the ceremonies and rituals held in the ancient
India.
India has been producing this reputed spice since a long time and was the leading producer till
2002. It still is the second largest producer of cardamom after Guatemala and its production
hovers around 11500 metric tons. Kerala is the largest producer of cardamom in the country
producing around 8000 tons of the spice. The production has decreased as compared to the
previous times when it touched around 12000 tons in 2002-03. The country has the maximum
area covered in the cultivation of cardamom as compared to any country in the world. India stands
at the 2nd place in the world consumption list also as it consume almost 90% of the domestic
consumption. The maximum demand comes from the western part of the country at around 45%
followed by the northern part constituting about 35%.
As Indias production is capable in satisfying the domestic consumption demand, it does not
import any cardamom from outside countries. Rather, the left over cardamom gets exported every
year that makes India a net exporter in the world market. The country exports 5 to 8% of its total
production. India also exports by-products of cardamom like cardamom oil and oleoresins to the
European countries. The major countries that import cardamom and its by products from India are

Saudi Arabia

Japan

Germany

Netherlands

United Kingdom

Saudi Arabia is the largest market for Indian cardamom. It gets a share of around 42% followed
by Japan with 39% of the total India exports. Guatemala reduced Indias export market as it
provides cardamom at cheaper rates and India producing cardamom of much better quality is not
able to improve on its prices.
