Spice Production in India
Data shared by Dr. D Prasath, Project Coordinator, All India Coordinated Research Project (AICRP) on Spices, Indian Institute of Spices Research, Kozhikode, and Dr. Sudheesh Kulkarni, Scientist (Horticulture), AICRP on Spices, Horticultural Research and Extension Centre, Sirsi, shows that productivity increased during that time from 1.63 tonnes to 2.5 tonnes per hectare.
In 2021-2022, production in India covered 43.8 lakh hectares and totaled 111.2 lakh tonnes; while in Karnataka, the figures were 9.6 lakh tonnes and 4,27,180 hectares of land. Spices like pepper, cardamom, chilli, ginger, turmeric, coriander, and cumin are the most produced and exported. The final five of these account for roughly 76% of the total output.
Indian Spices Exports and Developments In Production Technology
Citing data from the Spices Board of India and the Directorate of Arecanut and Spices Development, Kozhikode, the researchers observed that spice exports increased by 30% in volume in 2020-21, marking an all-time high. In 2021-2022, India accounted for 1.5 million metric tonnes of the world's spice exports, or 43% in volume and 47% in value, with a total value of US $4.102 billion.
At its 34th annual group meeting on spices, the ICAR-AICRP last month identified eight new technologies related to pest management, mixed cropping systems, and intercropping spices with vegetables, in addition to four new spice varieties for cultivation: Gujarat Ajwain-3, Hisar Kalonji-12, IISR Amrit - Mango Ginger, and Kamakhya 1 - Black Pepper. One of the many strategies used by researchers to improve the production of highly marketable spices in the country is the development of spice varieties and technology suited for production and export.
They advocate for the development of a comprehensive action plan at the grassroots level to ensure food safety and sustainability in spice production. The researchers also recommend that high-tech processing technologies be used to meet changing food safety standards in importing countries, as well as that all stakeholders be trained at various levels.
