Cumin Seed
-
The world's leading producer of cumin, India's annual production ranges from 1 to 2 million tons. Locally referred to as "Jeera", cumin is used as an exotic flavouring agent in most Indian and global cuisines.
Gujarat and Rajasthan are the main states producing cumin as they boast the ideal conditions necessary for its growth. The quality of cumin
is determined on the basis of physical parameters such as colour, size, cleanliness and uniformity.
With a domestic consumption of around 30,000 MT, India exports most of its production and plays an influential role in determining international prices.
