Japan offers an attractive market for india to enhance its spices
exports to that country especially in commodities like pepper,
chilli, ginger and seed spices in which India has a strong production
base, according to a study done by Spices Board.
“The import pattern of Japan show that they import substantial
quantity of the above spices and our share is not significant.
For pepper, they mainly depends on Malaysia, for chilli and
ginger China and for seed spices Morocco and Iran,” the study
says.
Ginger is the single largest item of spices imported by Japan.
According to data, Japan imports one lakh tonne of ginger annually
and India’s share is quite negligible, the study points out.
With annual production of over 2.5 lakh tonne, India can explore
the possibility of capturing a reasonable share, the study says.
The study says that since the scope for export of spice products
in consumer packs has little scope in Japan, India should focus
on direct marketing with the spice processing industry in Japan.
“It is suggested to explore the possibility of a joint venture
with some of the spice processors in Japan so that semi-processed
spices can be supplied according to their requirements”, the
study says.
