For centuries, India has been a major player in the global spice trade, earning the title “Land of Spices.” The combination of special geography and climate in the subcontinent developed multiple diverse spice varieties. This diversity has made the region a priceless source of flavors and aromas. India began its active spice trade with global markets starting from 1000 BCE, thus becoming a key center for valued spices throughout the world. The modern world recognizes India as the dominant country in the spice market. However, India is considered the top producer and exporter of spices in the world. During the year 2023-2024, India exported 1.4 million metric tons of spices. The total value of these exports was $4 billion. It shows a 10% increase from the previous year. India dominates the global spice market, holding a 40% share of its total value.
