Cumin seeds are cultivated in the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan and the major cumin trading centres are Unjha, Rajkot, Gondal in Gujarat and Jodhpur and Nagaur in Rajasthan. The biggest volume though is traded at Unjha in Gujarat, which is also the biggest seed spices market in Asia for Exports.
The significant increase in exports of Indian cumin during the last few years can be attributed to three main factors. One, the cultivation of the seed in India has grown up three times because of favourable climate, better irrigation facilities, and improvement in seed productivity. Second, Syria and Turkey were Indiaâ??s main competitors, but due to internal conflicts, the cultivation of the seed in these countries have decreased. As a result, India has gained a significant market share in world exports. Lastly, Spices Board of India is also now aggressively marketing Indian cumin across international markets.
Indian cumin seeds are best in the world in terms of appearance, taste, aroma and nutritional values. As of now, three qualities are majorly exported from India. These are: Europe Quality (99.5% & 99% purity), Singapore Quality (99.5%, 99%, 98% & 97% purity), and Grinding Grade Quality (90 to 95% purity).
