For instance, there is a pre-harvest interval that farmers are advised to follow, during which they should not use pesticides before harvest. However, taking advice from retailers, they use it during this period, which leaves high values of residue on the food commodities," said an expert. Despite various challenges, the Indian spice market continues to grow. India remains the biggest producer, consumer, and exporter of spices in the world. "The focus is now on making India not just the largest producer but also the biggest in manufacturing of value-added spices like oil and extracts, retail products, curry powders, etc.," said Ramkumar.
