Chili loses flavour
No consignment for exports is being cleared unless approved by the Spice Board of India.
"We have made it mandatory for all exporters to first provide a sample to us and get approval.
The step was taken after despite the drop in exports by around 17.9% this year as compared to the year 2004-05, chili continued to be the largest export spice having a share of 35% in spice exports.
While the chili export in the year 2003-04 valued at Rs 355 crore, it grew up in 2004-05 to 1,38,000 metric tonne (MT) valued at Rs 499 crore. But following reports of adulteration in the EU markets, the exports dropped to 1,13,250 MT valued at Rs 403 crore in 2005-06.
Besides chili, other spices which did well on the export front are pepper, cardamom (both big and small), nutveg, mace, vanilla, mint products, oleoresins and garlic. Pepper exports went up from 14,150 MT to 16,700 MT.
Officials said the WTO compatible export subsidy scheme for pepper had a salutary effect.
The export of nutweg and mace went up because its production declined in West Indies sharply due to hurricane Ivan there. Board officials said that the average unit price realisation of spices was up from Rs 65.58 per kg in last year to Rs 71.61 per kg during 2005-06.
