THE COMMODITY
II.What Indian spices is, and what H-α does with it
The Indian spice complex — turmeric, cumin, coriander, chilli, fenugreek, cardamom and the seed spices — is a set of separately priced physical markets traded on domestic mandi and terminal prices as much as on export quotations. India carries the bulk of world supply, with Vietnam, China, Türkiye and Syria on individual lines. Grade turns on volatile oil, curcumin content, colour value in ASTA units and pungency, and pesticide residue limits in the European Union and Japan are the binding trade constraint.
What the subscription does with it
The subscription reads the declared record on each spice's own HS heading rather than on a spice aggregate, keeps exporters, processors and importers in one book, and carries the price basis the registry names for each line with its cadence attached. Where a line's only free price is a domestic mandi series, the platform says that is what it is and does not present it as an export quotation.
The registry’s note on the headings this subscription reads:
091030 turmeric; 090421 fruits of Capsicum/Pimenta, dried, not crushed; 090422 fruits of Capsicum/Pimenta, crushed or ground; 090931 cumin seeds, not crushed ...
The registry’s caveat on the price anchor:
US Government work (17 U.S.C. 105). The API terms require attribution and prohibit implying Census endorsement; they do not restrict redistribution. Terms: https://www.census.gov/data/developers/about/terms-of-service.html
