(5X1=5)

Cardamom, the queen of all spices, has a history as old as the human race. It is the dried fruit of a
herbaceous perennial plant. Warm, humid climate, loamy soil rich in organic matter, distributed
rainfall, special cultivation and processing methods all combine to make Indian cardamom truly
unique in aroma, flavour, size and it has a parrot green colour.

Two types of cardamom are produced in India. The first type is the large one, which has not much
significance as it is not traded in the future market. It is cultivated in north-eastern area of the
country. The second type is produced in the southern states and these are traded in the future
market. These are mainly cultivated in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. As per the future market
rules, only 7 mm quality was previously traded in exchanges. But later, it relaxed its norms and now 6
mm quality is also traded in the exchanges.

Cardamom is an expensive spice, secondly to saffron. Indian cardamom is known in two main
varieties : Malabar cardamom and Mysore cardamom. The Mysore variety contains leaves of cineol,
limonene and hence is more aromatic. India is the world’s largest producer and exporter emerged as
the leading producer and exporter of cardamom.

The main harvest season of cardamom in India is between August-February. Cardamom reaches at
yielding stage two years after the plantation. The primary physical markets of cardamom are Kumily
Vandenmodu, Jhekkady, Puliyarmala in Kerala and Bodynaikkaur and Cumbum in Tamil Nadu.

Kerala is the main producer of cardamom and contributes up to 60% in total production. Karnataka
produces around 25% of the total production of cardamom. Ooty is the main producer of cardamom
in Tamil Nadu and contributes around 10-15% of the total production. Besides India, Guatemala also
