THE CHILLY's NOT SO HOT
Article Abstract:
The exports of chilli has been decreasing from 56.165 tonnes in 1995-96 to 50,051 tonnes in 1996-97 and 43,450 tonnes in 1997-98. India has exported 28,750 tonnes of chilli valued Rs109.65 crore in the first 10 months of 1998-99 (38,109 tonnes valued at Rs123.38 crore in the first 10 months of 1997-98). The export target for chilli has been revised to 38,000 tonnes valued at Rs190 crore against the earlier target of 55,000 tonnes valued at Rs192 crore for 1998-99. The share of India in the international market depends on the output of chilli growing countries like China. The exports of chilli is likely to be higher in 1999-2000 as China's crop is expected to be low. Colombo, Mexico and Bangladesh have stopped buying from India and south east Asian countries have reduced imports of chilli due to reduced money supply. India exports only three to four percent of its production as there is a good demand for chilli in the domestic market. (rk)(m)

BRIGHT YELLOW
Article Abstract:
The Spices Board has fixed an export target for turmeric of 28,000 tonnes worth Rs84 crore in 1998-99 against exports of 24,900 tonnes worth Rs75.10 crore in 1997-98. India mainly exports turmeric to Iran, Dubai, the US and UK. The South East Asian currency crisis, the fall of the Japanese Yen and the depressed markets in Dubai may adversely affect India's exports. (khr)
