Financial assistance will support farmers and Farmer Producer Organizations with activities such as replanting, micro-irrigation, and improved post-harvest infrastructure.
The Spices Board has announced the launch of the “Sustainability in Spice Sector through Progressive, Innovative and Collaborative Interventions for Export Development (SPICED)” scheme for the financial year 2025–26.
The scheme offers financial assistance across various components, aiming to enhance sustainability, foster innovation, and promote export development in the Indian spices sector. Online applications will open on May 26.
The scheme aims to enhance the productivity of small and large cardamom, improve the quality of post-harvest processes, and encourage the production and export of value-added, GI-tagged, and organic spices. It is also focused on enabling compliance with global food safety and phytosanitary standards and boosting the capacity of stakeholders across the value chain.
Spice exporters can apply under the scheme’s export development and promotion components until June 30, while farmers and Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) can submit applications under development components in other categories until September 30.
The scheme offers support for activities such as replanting and rejuvenation of cardamom plantations, development of water resources, micro-irrigation, promotion of organic farming, and expansion of good agricultural practices (GAP). In addition, it supports the installation of improved post-harvest infrastructure, such as modern dryers, slicers, dehullers, and grading machines to ensure superior product quality.
The scheme provides financial assistance to farmers and FPOS to procure essential post-harvest machines such as spice polishers, turmeric boilers, mint distillation units, and threshing machines.
In export development and promotion, the scheme assists in participating in international trade fairs, buyer-seller meets, and other market linkage programs. Special emphasis is given to supporting first-time exporters and small businesses, enabling them to showcase Indian spices in global markets.
