Introduction

Nutmeg, at its core, consists of the seeds or ground spice derived from different species within the Myristica genus. India’s dedicated nutmeg exporters annually ship substantial quantities of this spice to international markets. With an estimated annual production of 14,000 – 16,000 Metric Tons in India, nutmeg exports have shown a consistent upward trajectory. This growth can be attributed to the versatile applications and benefits of nutmeg across various domains, offering Indian exporters a promising opportunity to reach global markets. The increasing global demand for nutmeg continues to fuel the surge in its export from India.
