dc.description.abstractIndia' s position in the World production and trade of pepper has slipped from the first rank during the period 1950 to 1955 to the fourth rank during the period 1976 to 1980. Although this country accounted for nearly 52 per cent of the world area under pepper it constituted about 15 per cent of the world production of this spice during the period 1976 to 1980. The compound growth rates of pepper production in India were 2.49 per cent in the fifties, (—) 0.82 per cent in the sixties and 0.16 per cent in the seventies. The average productivity of Indias pepper was estimated as 254 kg/ha/year as against 4574 kg in the case of Malaysia. 2887 kg in Brazil, 2287 kg in Sri Lanka, 1158 kg in Indonesia and 508 kg in Madagascar in the late seventies. The compound growth rates of exports of pepper from India for the fifties, sixties and the seventies were 5.2 per cent, (—) 0.7 per cent and (—) 0.5 per cent respectively. For this country 1973-74 was the year of the highest attainment in the volume of export (31,648 tonnes) and 1977-78 was the year of the highest attainment in export earnings (Rs. 498 million) as well as unit value realisation (Rs. 20/kg). The Rupee-Trade Zone is now the biggest overseas buyer of Indian pepper. Considering the overall potential, a massive rejuvenation-cum-replanting programme in pepper for the traditional pepper growing areas and cultivation of this spice crop in the non-traditional south-eastern and north-eastern regions in India have been suggested.en_US
