<h1>Government Launches SPICED Scheme to Boost Turmeric Exports with Quality and Market Focus</h1> The government has implemented the SPICED scheme through the Spices Board to enhance turmeric exports by focusing on food safety, quality assurance, value addition, and market linkages. The National Turmeric Board was established to promote product development, international market awareness, infrastructure improvement, supply chain resilience, quality compliance, capacity building, and research related to turmeric. Since 2020, India has maintained a dominant share of global turmeric exports, with key importers including Bangladesh, UAE, USA, Malaysia, and Morocco. Export volumes and revenues have fluctuated but show overall growth, with Maharashtra, West Bengal, and Kerala leading in export values. The scheme aims to strengthen the turmeric sector's sustainability and global competitiveness through coordinated interventions and stakeholder engagement.
