By Saurabh Mittal, Founder, Altus Exports

Readers using this demand map should treat every recommendation as spice-specific — not a generic agri-export template reused from honey or onion content.
The commercial spine of the article is destination spice baskets: keep chili, turmeric, cumin, coriander, pepper, and cardamom decisions measurable.
