What the Coorg Green Cardamom GI means for sourcing
A Geographical Indication ties green cardamom from karnataka to a defined origin and its qualities, registered under application 78 and held by Spices Board, Kochi. Buyers who need documented provenance — private-label brands, premium retail, and importers whose own customers ask for it — specify the GI on the contract. When we ship against a GI claim we reference the registration so the mark on your carton holds up.
For grades, specification and the wider trade in this spice, see the Green Cardamom export page. We also ship it to buyers worldwide — tell us your market and grade and we will quote it.
