Green Cardamom

Small Cardamom botanically known as „Elettaria Cardamomum Maton is cultivated in India in the hilly tracts of the three Southern States of Kerala, Karnataka and Tamilnadu. Crop assessment of area and production of Cardamom (Small) in the three states of Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu is done in three stages viz. preliminary, mid-term and final by the Spices Board, Kochi with the following guidelines for each stage.

 

The Indian economy is firmly on the path of steady growth. Even during the last decade when other countries were in the grip of a massive slowdown, India continued to enjoy a comfortable economic position. This recent spurt in growth is propelled by radical reforms such as the removal of restrictions on foreign investment and industrial de-licensing. Tailoring the EXIM policy to promote exports and aligning the import duties to meet WTO commitments further contributed to this development. This trend is expected to continue over the next five years, driven by a favourable business policy environment in terms of tax cuts, broadening tax base, and reduced interest rates.
