Answer 2

Answer:

Western countries and the nations of West Asia look to India for importing spices. The country is known widely for producing high-quality spices like cumin, black pepper, cardamom, ginger, chillies and turmeric. It produces around 60 spices thanks to its diverse climatic conditions.

Odisha is home to spices like turmeric, black pepper, cardamom and many others. Interestingly, Odisha has also received the Geographical Indication (GI) tag for some spices. Odisha is also suitable for growing coffee as places like Nandapur, Lamataput, Laxmipur, Semiliguda, Dasmantpur and Pottangi blocks of Koraput has immense potential for coffee plantations.

But the cultivation of spices is getting hampered by unscientific agriculture practices like the excessive use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides. Rampant use of pesticides and chemical fertilisers leaves residues in the environment and pollutes the soil.

This is the reason why exporters reject many of our spices as they have failed to meet standards. There is an urgent need to address this issue to make sure that spices are properly cultivated and harvested.
