Board has formulated and implemented a three tier
quality certification programme conforming to
HACCP. Award of Spice House Certificate for good
manufacturing practices, award of Logo for quality
of the product and accreditation under ISO 9000
for international acceptance are the three certification
systems adopted by the Board. Yet another area
of activity centered upon by the Board is Value
Addition. India can now boast as the monopoly
supplier of spice oils and oleoresins the world
over. In the case of curry powders, spice powders,
spice mixtures and spices in consumer packs, India
is in a formidable position. The consistent effort
of the Board during the last one decade has improved
the share of the value added products in the export
basket to 60%.

acceptance. Other areas focused upon by the Board
are export promotion in identified markets, interaction
with policy makers in the importing countries,
development of new end uses, farm level training
for farmers etc.
