Suppliers
The most important suppliers of nutmeg
from developing countries to Europe are:
Indonesia (86% of imports from
developing countries in 2017)
Grenada (8%)
Vietnam (3%)
Sri Lanka (2%)
India (1%).
India is the leading exporter of nutmeg in the world. In
2016, the country's earnings from nutmeg exports were
$107 million. The nation is one of the largest producers of
the crop worldwide, with the Angalay-Kalady belt in Kerala
being the main cultivation area. Large-scale production
also takes place in Tamil Nadu State, while farmers in
Karnataka and the southern part of Maharashtra grow the
crop in smaller quantities. However, the volume produced
in India is not sufficient for local consumption and export
hence the country imports the spice from other nations to
cater for the demand. Countries that export nutmeg to India
include Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Singapore.
