Preface

India is The Land of Spices' and the glory of Indian spices are known throughout the world. India commands a formidable position in the world spice trade. Indian spices are popularly known for their flavor and aroma in domestic as well as in the international markets. India, known as the home of spices, boasts a long history of trading with the ancient civilisations of Rome and China. Today, Indian spices are the most sought-after globally, given their exquisite aroma, texture, taste and medicinal value. India has the largest domestic market for spices in the world. Traditionally, spices in India have been grown in small land holdings, with organic farming gaining prominence in recent times. India is the world's largest producer, consumer and exporter of spices. Top spices produced in the country include pepper, cardamom, chilli, ginger, turmeric, coriander, cumin, celery, fennel, fenugreek, ajwain, dill seed, garlic, tamarind, clove, and nutmeg among others. Among the 109 spices listed by International Organization for Standardization, India grows about 60 and Indian spices flavor foods in over 130 countries. Major importers of Indian spices are US, Vietnam, China, UAE, Iran, Thailand, UK, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and Germany. Important spices like black pepper, cardamom, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, tamarind and garcinia are native to India. The climate of the country is suitable for almost all spices because of diverse agro-climatic regions comprising tropical, sub tropical and temperate regions, where we can grow various kinds of spices. Spices may be bark, buds, flowers, fruits, leaves, rhizomes, roots, seeds, stigmas and styles or the entire plant tops. Important commercial crops from the point of view of both domestic consumption and export are cardamom, pepper, turmeric and ginger. The major objective of the paper is introduction of diverse genetic resources from the center of diversity as biotic stress is the major production constraint in the spice crops. Indian spices have obtained geographical indicators such as Malabar pepper, Alleppey green cardamom, Coorg green cardamom and Naga chilli.
