What the Malabar Pepper GI means for sourcing

A Geographical Indication ties black pepper from kerala to a defined origin and its qualities, registered under application 49 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. Because this registration had lapsed on the Board’s register, treat a GI claim on the carton as unverified until you check the live status.

For grades, specification and the wider trade in this spice, see the Black Pepper export page. We also ship it to buyers worldwide — tell us your market and grade and we will quote it.
