India accounts for more than 40% of the global spice trade.
India produces
more than two million tonnes of spices, every year.
The history of spices in India dates back thousands of years, making it the “Spice Bowl of the World”. Herbs and spices have been used by Indian tribes for almost as long as the “human civilization of spices.” Conquering tribes ranging from the Assyrians and Babylonians to the Arabians, Romans, Egyptians, Chinese, British, and Portuguese invaded India with the same purpose: to profit from the vast natural resources and origin of spices.
