About Us
Spices are high value export oriented crops extensively used for flavouring food and beverages, medicines, cosmetics, perfumery etc. India produces more than 65 varieties of spices out of the 109 varieties listed by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and is the leading producer, consumer and exporter of spices. Spices are known for their intrinsic quality which has several commercial applications. Primary processing operations are of utmost importance for production of safe and quality spices at farm level.
