<h1>Project to Boost Local Spice Cultivation with 125,000 Saplings and Farmer Training Under Section Agriculture Development</h1> The Andaman and Nicobar administration has initiated a project to revive historic spice cultivation and reduce import dependency by expanding local production of cinnamon, clove, black pepper, and nutmeg. The project involves planting 125,000 spice saplings in government nurseries and integrating cultivation with existing coconut plantations. Supported by agricultural research institutions, the plan includes establishing eight spice collection centers, providing farmer training, and focusing on branding and marketing, including GI tagging. The initiative aims to boost the local economy, enhance agricultural self-reliance, and reestablish the region's role in the global spice trade over the next four years.
