Introduction
Out of the 109 spices listed by the ISO, India produces as many as 75 in its various agro climatic
regions. India accounts for about 45% (2,50,000 tons-2002-03) of the global spice exports,
though exports constitute only some 8% of the estimated annual production of spices at 3.2
million tons (2002). Over all, spices are grown in some 2.9 million hectares in the country. Spice
production in India, as much of the agriculture in the country, is undertaken in millions of tiny
holdings and determine the livelihood of large number of the rural population. Page | 9

EXPORT OF CHILIES IN OTHER COUNTRIES
India's chilli exports are currently in bull stage and chilies exports from India are mostly to
Srilanka, USA, Nepal Mexico and Bangladesh. Among these countries USA, Srilanka and
Mexico are the major importers of India's chilies. China has emerged as the major exporter in the
world market and as a serious competitor in the international market for India. India exported
1,48,500 tones of chilly valued Rs.807.75 cr. in the year 2013-14.
Chilly is reported to be a native of South America and is widely distributed in all tropical and sub
tropical countries including India. It was first introduced in India by Portuguese towards the end
of 15th Century. Now it is grown all over the world except in colder parts

Chilli is the largest spice item exported from India in terms of volume and occupies second
position in terms of value. During 2008-09, chilli accounted for 40 per cent in volume and 20
percent in value terms, of the total exports of spices from India. The mandatory qualitytesting of
chilli and chilli products has made Indian chilli more acceptable in the international market and
helped to achieve this higher level of exports. The market for chillies is affected by seasonal
price fluctuations, overall production in the country, world demand, stocks available incold
storages and hedging among the various varieties of chilli. Chilliesare exported as chilli powder,
dried chillies, pickled chillies and chillioleoresins. The major importers of Indian chillies are
Malaysia, Sri Lanka,Indonesia, the US, Bangladesh, Singapore, UK, Nepal and Mexico.
Export of spices and spice products from India crossed 500,000 metric
tonnes for the first time in the history of spice trade in 2009-10. Despite the economic slowdown
in major consuming markets, the export of spices has recorded an alltime-high.
Problems
Aflatoxin and pesticide residues are the two major constraints in increasing our exports. Buyers
expect a high degree of hygiene and sanitation in processing and preparation of chillies for
export. The potential for increasing exports of whole chillies, chilli powder and crushed chillies
in consumer packs is very high, provided we meet the stringent quality requirements of
importing countries.
The consumers in importing countries insist on clean spices and to meet this challenge we have
to make every effort to prevent contamination from external sources during harvesting, post-
harvest handling, processing and storage. This can be achieved only through an integrated
approach with the collective efforts of farmers, processors and traders.
Measures needed
Though Indian exports are showing satisfactory trends, India is facing tough competition in the
international export market, as the price of Indian chilli powder is considered too high and other
competitive countries are providing chilli at competitive rates to the major importing countries.
Page | 14
If the country is able to meet thestrict quality demands of the international market, the exports
can be further improved. Necessary steps have to be taken by the government to encourage the
exporters to maintain the Indian dominance in the world market. The improved quality and
productivity of Indian chillies will enable India to increase exports of chillies and chilli products,
effectively meeting the competition from other producing and exporting countries.
