Jeera| Trends for 2015-16 show a decline in India’s jeera exports

Trends for 2015-16 show a decline in India’s jeera exports. From 49,000 tonnes in first quarter of 2014-15, exports declined to 27,000 tonnes in the same quarter a year later. Good weather, coupled with the crisis in Syria, has pushed jeera exports. Quality is the biggest constraint for sustained exports, according to the Spice Board.
