ITANAGAR: There are prodigious possibilities for production of spices, especially large cardamom, in Arunachal Pradesh where yield could be enhanced significantly if peasants adopt scientific cultivation. Large cardamom, often referred to as the Queen of Spices, boasts health benefits. A perennial crop in Sikkim and Darjeeling District, it is also grown in Uttarakhand, Nagaland, Manipur, Meghalaya and Asom. Sikkim’s output is phenomenal in this context.
