dc.description.abstractA review on the cardamom situation in India was made and it was observed that while the area under this crop has gone up by 62 per cent between 1960-61 and 1979-8O, its production has fluctuated violently over these years. The extreme susceptibility to climatic influences and diseases and pests account for the wide variations in its yield. Current production of cardamom in India is estimated at around 4S00 tonnes. Of this, about 1500 - 2000 tonnes are used for the internal consumption and the remaining for export. The unit value of cardamom per kg increased 1000 per cent during the last two decades from Rs. 18 in 1960-61 to Rs. 199 in 1979-8O. Mainly because of this unprecedented increase in price, the realised export earnings has been pushed up to Rs. 534.7 million in 1979-8O from a mere Rs. 36.7 million in 1960-61. Even then, India has lost its near monopoly position in world production as well as export and has been replaced from some of the traditional markets through intensive competitions from Guatemala and Tanzania. However, the country has recently taken up some developmental programmes to boost up production and regain the established market and the outlook for the future seems to be bright.en_US
