1 Chapter 3 PERFORMANCE OF SPICES TRADE IN INDIA AND KERALA India occupies a prominent position in the world spice trade. In the estimated world trade of species of 8,50,000 tonnes valued at US$ 2,200 millions, India occupies a share of 44 per cent in quantity and 36 per cent in value. In terms of production too India has an upper edge, as no other country in the world produces as many spices as India does. The list vary from the hot spices like chilly, pepper, ginger to mild pungent and spicy items like cardamom, coriander, cumin and herbal spices like thyme, rosemary, mint and finally vanilla from the orchid family. Annual production of these spices in recent years has gone well above four million tonnes. It is significant to note that only nine to ten per cent of the total production is exported and the rest is consumed domestically. In India, Kerala is the leading producer and exporter of black pepper, cardamom, nutmeg and mace. During the year , production of black pepper in Kerala was MT (91.8 per cent of total production in the country), that of cardamom was 8545 MT (76 per cent of total production), and that of nutmeg and mace 1761 MT (94 per cent of total production). During , the exports from Kerala was, black pepper MT valued at Rs Lakhs, cardamom MT valued at Rs.1310 lakhs and nutmeg and mace 1761 MT valued at Rs.3581 lakhs. The present chapter has been given to assess the performance of spices trade, particularly pepper and cardamom in India and Kerala. Variables viz. area under cultivation, production, productivity, export and price have been used for the assessment.

2 Performance of Black Pepper in India and Kerala Black pepper is a prominent spice in the spice economy of India. More than 95 per cent of the global output of black pepper is confined to six nations viz. India, Indonesia, Brazil, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. India though had dominant position in the pepper production, its position in recent years declined and at present Vietnam tops in production. The International Pepper Community (IPC) countries now corner 80 percent of the global trade in black pepper. Kerala is the leading pepper producing state in the country. Kerala accounts for more than 95 percent of the total area under pepper cultivation as well as output (Tables 3.7 and 3.8). Karnataka is the second largest state in black pepper production, with the share of more than 2 per cent of the total output in the country. Tamilnadu, Pondicherry and A&N Islands contribute the rest of pepper production in India Area under Cultivation and Production of Black Pepper in India and Kerala Tables 3.1 shows that Kerala accounts for more than 93 per cent of area under pepper cultivation in India. The area in Kerala has increased from hectares during to hectares during , i.e. increase of per cent. Production of black pepper in Kerala has also increased from tonnes during to tonnes during Meanwhile, the annual average growth rate of area under cultivation of pepper in India (3.16) is higher than that of Kerala (2.61).

The production in Kerala was MT during It rose to during , an increase of per cent. Meanwhile, the average annual growth rate in production in India (4.48) is higher than that of Kerala (3.72). But, as per IPC statistics the total world production of pepper was MT during of which India s share was tonnes (i.e. 29%). Table 3.2: Production of Black Pepper in India and Kerala Year Production (in MT) India Kerala % Share of Kerala Period Average AAG Source: Spices Statistics, Spices Board.

4 Productivity of Black Pepper in India and Kerala Table 3.3 shows that the productivity of pepper (Kg/hectare) in Kerala (314.2) is only slightly above the national average (311.4). But the annual average growth rate in India (1.58) is higher than that of Kerala (1.15). Among the pepper growing areas in India, productivity levels are high in Karnataka. During the productivity of pepper in Kerala was only 297 kg/hectare, while it was 577 kg/hectare in Karnataka, 227 kg/hectare in Tamilnadu and 60.6 kg/hectare in A & N Islands and the all India figure of productivity was 313 kg/hectare. At the international level the productivity of pepper in India is one of the lowest in the world compared to other pepper growing counties. During productivity of pepper was 3393 kg/ha in Thailand, 2100 kg/hectare in Vietnam, 1538 kg/hectare in Malaysia and 1000 kg/hectare in Brazil, whereas it was only 307 kg/ha in India (Spice India 2006). Table 3.3: Productivity of black pepper in India and Kerala (Productivity Kg/hect) Year India Kerala Period Average AAG Source: Spices Statistics, Spices Board Export of Pepper from India and Kerala After meeting the domestic requirements, substantial quantity of black pepper is exported from India. Till 2006, black pepper was the largest foreign exchange earner among all spices in the country. During , the total earnings from the export of spices were Rs.2820 million of which pepper alone

5 71 accounted for Rs.2003 million, i.e. 71 per cent of total earnings from spice exports. During , India exported tonnes of pepper valued at Rs crores compared to tonnes valued at crores during In terms of value realization, the performance during was a record, however quantum wise, the achievement of (i.e tonnes) is still the best. With the increased internal consumption in India, the export of pepper declined from tonnes during to tonnes during However, during , the export of pepper increased to tonnes valued at Rs crores as compared to tonnes valued at crores during Table 3.4 below shows the export of pepper from India and Kerala. Table 3.4: Export of pepper from India and Kerala (Qty in tones) Year From India From Kerala % share of Kerala Period Average AAG Source: Spices Statistics, Spices Board Table 3.4 shows that the share of pepper exports from Kerala in the total pepper exports from the country is gradually declining. While it was 93.4 percent during , it increased to 94 percent during and then started declining. During , the share of pepper export from Kerala in the total pepper export from the country was only 69 percent. However, the annual average growth rate in the export of pepper from Kerala (4.68) is much higher compared to India (2.28).

6 Trend of Prices of Pepper in Kerala There was a general decline in the production of black pepper in major producing countries during This resulted in an increase in the prices of black pepper in domestic as well as international markets during The average domestic price increased from Rs.63 per kg in to Rs.206 per kg in The unprecedented rise in the domestic price resulted in an average f.o.b. value realization of Rs.180 per kg against the previous highest of Rs.136 per kg in The domestic price of black pepper reached a high of Rs.280 per kg during 1999 and thereafter it started declining during the succeeding years (Table 3.5). After many years of low prices, by the end of 2006 the pepper prices showed a reviving trend. From Rs.64/kg in October 2005, the price of black pepper has gone up to Rs.124/ kg. in September After some initial ups and downs, the prices have again gone up and the average price for June 2007 has been reported as Rs.143/kg. But, average annual growth rate is 0.47). Table 3.5: Trend of Prices of Black Pepper in Kerala Year Price in Rs. (Per kg) Period Average AAG 0.47 Source: India Pepper and Spices Trade Association (IPSTA) 3.2 Performance of Cardamom in India and Kerala Cardamom enjoys an enviable commercial value in the global spice market. Till 1983, India was the world s largest producer and exporter of cardamom. But towards the end of 1980 s, Guatemala emerged as the leading producer and exporter of Cardamom, with 97 percent share of global export.

7 73 Now India is the second largest producer with an average production of to metric tonnes. In India, cardamom cultivation is concentrated in the evergreen forests of Western ghats in South India. Kerala is the major cardamom producing state followed by Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. During , Kerala accounted for 57 percent of total area under cardamom cultivation in India and 77 percent of production; Karnataka accounted for 36 percent of total area and 15 percent of production and Tamil Nadu accounted for 7 percent of total area and 8 percent of production (Spices Statistics, 2005) Area under Cultivation of Cardamom in India and Kerala Table 3.6 reveals that 57 percent of the area under cardamom cultivation in India is in Kerala. Out of the area under cultivation in Kerala, Idukki district alone accounts for 90 per cent, Wynad district 4 per cent, Palakkad district 3 to 4 per cent and other areas 2 to 3 per cent. Mean while, the annual average growth in the area under cultivation in India (.15) is slightly higher than that of Kerala (.11). Table 3.6: Area under Cultivation of Cardamom (small) in India and Kerala (Area in Hectares) Year India Kerala % share of Kerala Period Average AAG Source: Spices Statistics, Spices Board

8 Production of Cardamom (small) in India and Kerala Similar to black pepper, Kerala tops in the production of cardamom also. The average share of Kerala in the cardamom production in India during the period of study ( to ) was 74.1 per cent Table 3.7). The production of cardamom in Kerala during was 5932 metric tonnes but it increased to 8545 metric tonnes during , an increase of 44 per cent. Again, the average annual growth in the production of cardamom in Kerala was 3.8 but in India it was Table 3.7: Production of Cardamom (small) in India & Kerala (Production in MT) Year In India In Kerala % Share of Kerala in Total production Period Average AAG Source : Spices Statistics, Spices Board Productivity of Cardamom in India and Kerala Table 3.8 shows that the productivity of cardamom in Kerala is far higher than the productivity at the national level through out the period of study. The average productivity of cardamom in Kerala was Kg/hectare, but in India it was kg/hectare. In Kerala the average per hectare yield during 1970 was as low as 46 Kgs, which increased to 100 Kgs per hectare during 1990, which further increased to 276 Kgs per hectare during 2004 to 283 Kgs/hectare during Though this is the state average production, some plantations in Kerala even produce Kgs per hectare regularly.

9 75 Again, the annual average growth rate in the productivity of cardamom in Kerala (7.64) is slightly higher than that of India (7.56). Table 3.8: Productivity of Cardamom (small) in India and Kerala Year Productivity Kg/Hec In India In Kerala Period Average AAG Source: Spices Statistics, Spices Board Export of Cardamom from India and Kerala A major portion of the cardamom produced in Kerala as well as the other parts of India is used for domestic consumption and only a minor portion is exported to other countries. During , while the total production of cardamom (small) was tonnes, the export of cardamom from India was only 650 tonnes i.e only 6 per cent of total production. During the same period, while the production of cardamom (small) in Kerala was 8545 tonnes, the quantity exported from Kerala was only 371 tonnes i.e only 3.4 per cent of production. However, the average share of Kerala in the export of cardamom in India is 26.3 per cent. Again, the average annual growth rate in the export from Kerala is much higher (42.07) compared to India (1.07) (Table 3.9). During 1980 s the share of export of Indian cardamom in the total production was 53 per cent but it dropped drastically to eight per cent during 1990 s and further to five per cent during the year During this span domestic production had a consistent growth reaching metric tonnes during from 4400 metric tonnes during

11 Share of Black Pepper and Cardamom (small) in the Total Export of Major Spices from India During the last three decades, black pepper had been retaining the prime position in the spice exports from India. During , black pepper stood first, in the spice exports from the country with a share of per cent in quantity and per cent in value. But this declined to 7.69 percent in quantity and 8.56 per cent in value during The share of cardamom (both small & large) was only 1.72 per cent in terms of value and only.83 per cent in terms of quantity. Out of this the share of cardamom (small) was only.86 per cent in terms of value and only.15 per cent in terms of quantity during ; and it changed to.58 per cent in quantity and 1.10 per cent in value during The share of other major spices in terms of value realization were; chillies 11 per cent, Ginger 5 per cent, Turmeric 6 per cent, seed spices 6 per cent, mint oil 7 per cent, spice oils and oleoresins 16 per cent, curry powder 2 per cent, garlic 2 per cent, turmeric 6 per cent, coriander 4 per cent and cumin 6 per cent. Thus, up to black pepper stood first in the spice exports of the country with a share of 36% in value, followed by spice oils & oleoresins 17% and chillies 13%. Export of Spices by major commodity group during compared to and is given in Table 3.11.

Mint products emerged as the prime item of spice export contributing 31percent of the value, while chilli tops in quantity by sharing 40 percent of the quantity of spices exported from India. In terms of value, the other major items are chilli 23 percent, spice oils and oleoresins 14 percent, pepper 9 percent, cumin 6 percent and turmeric 5 percent.. The share of cardamom (small) in the total spice export of the country is now only 0.58 percent in terms of quantity and 1.10 percent in terms of value. Vanilla the export of which was nil during has emerged as an item of spice export during onwards. Thus, pepper, the king of spices, lost its prime position in the spice exports of the country, both in terms of quantity and value and that position in now occupied by mint products in terms of value and chillies in terms of quantity.

15 81 Thus, it can be concluded that India occupies a predominant position in the world spices trade. India s contribution to the world spices trade is 44 per cent in quantity and 36 per cent in value. Black pepper, which occupied the prime position in the spice exports from the country with a share of 36 per cent in the total export earnings, lost its position after , in terms of both quantity and value. Mint products in terms of value with a share of per cent and chillies in terms of quantity with a share of per cent now occupy this prime position. Kerala accounts for 93.3 per cent of total area under black pepper cultivation, and 94.2 per cent of production in the country. The area under cultivation of black pepper and production of black pepper in Kerala is on the increase. Kerala s share in the export of black pepper from the country is declining. Productivity of black pepper in India is one of the lowest in the world. In India, Karnataka has the highest productivity, followed by Kerala and Tamil Nadu. India was the principal producer and exporter of cardamom up to the year After 1983, Guatemala emerged as the dominant producer and exporter of cardamom (small) in the world. India s share in the global export of cardamom now is only 3 per cent. Kerala is the leading cardamom producing state in India with a share of 56.7 per cent of area under cultivation and 74.1 per cent of production. In Kerala, Idukki district accounts for 90 per cent of cardamom production in the state. Productivity of cardamom in Kerala is the highest in the country and it shows an increasing trend. Share of cardamom exports from India in the total cardamom production in the country is declining. The share of the export earnings of spice oils and oleoresins in the total export earnings of the country is significant.
