India's main export is of Malabar grade black pepper. The country itself is a very big consumer of spices so the quantity available for export is limited as compared to its competitors.

U.S., Italy, Germany, Canada among other countries are big importers of Indian pepper due to its quality which is why it rules at the premium in International market. India also exports value added products like pepper oil, pepper oleoresins, green pepper in brine, dehydrated green pepper etc.

The prices of pepper are highly volatile like other spices as India itself is a very big consumer of it so if any production fluctuation occurs it affects it hard. Also the world production and demand plays the major role in pepper prices. The stockists and speculators also play a major role in its prices. The availablity of pepper futures have given the exporters an opportunity to hedge their risks.
