Our Story

From the Spice Gardens of Idukki

Cardamom World is a well-established green cardamom manufacturer, exporter, dealer, and wholesaler based in Kattappana, Idukki — the heartland of India's cardamom belt. We were founded with a single purpose: to bring the world's finest green cardamom directly from Kerala's legendary spice gardens to international buyers, without compromise on quality or traceability.

Our facility in Kattappana sits at the centre of Idukki district, where the Western Ghats create a unique microclimate — high altitude, misty mornings, and rich laterite soil — that produces cardamom of unmatched aroma and volatile oil content. With a daily production capacity of 5 metric tons, we operate high-tech AI-powered machinery for grading, cleaning, sorting, and packaging.

As an ISO 9001:2015 certified company, a registered manufacturer under the Spices Board of India, and a recognised MSME, we operate with full regulatory compliance and a commitment to transparent, long-term relationships with every buyer we serve — shipping to markets across the globe.

Sourcing & Origin

Where Our Cardamom Comes From

Every pod we export is traceable to certified farms in Kerala's premier cardamom-growing districts.

Idukki District

Kerala, India

Primary
Altitude: 600–1,500m

The world's most celebrated cardamom-growing region. High altitude, consistent rainfall, and rich forest soil produce pods with the highest aromatic oil content. Home to our primary sourcing network.

Wayanad District

Kerala, India

Altitude: 700–2,100m

A secondary sourcing region known for bold, well-formed pods. Wayanad's cooler temperatures and organic farming traditions make it a source of premium and organic-certified cardamom.

Cardamom Hills

Western Ghats, Kerala

Altitude: 900–1,800m

The broader Western Ghats cardamom belt — a UNESCO biodiversity hotspot where shade-grown cardamom thrives under a natural forest canopy, producing pods with exceptional colour and fragrance.

How We Work

Farm to Export Container

01

Estate Sourcing

We work directly with a network of certified cardamom estates and farmer cooperatives in Idukki and Wayanad — ensuring traceability from farm to shipment.

02

AI-Powered Grading & Processing

Pods are processed through our high-tech AI machinery for precision grading by size, automated colour sorting, cleaning, and drying to specification — at our licensed facility in Kattappana, Idukki.

03

Quality Testing

Every lot is tested for moisture, volatile oil, pesticide residues, and microbial load — in-house and by accredited third-party laboratories.

04

Packaging & Dispatch

Approved lots are packed to buyer specification — jute bags, vacuum-sealed, or private label — and dispatched from Kochi port with full documentation.

What We Stand For

Traceability

Every shipment is traceable to its source estate. We believe buyers deserve to know exactly where their spice comes from.

Compliance

Full regulatory compliance — FSSAI, ISO 9001, Spices Board, IEC, FIEO RCMC — is not optional for us. It is the foundation of every transaction.

Consistency

Grade specifications are maintained shipment after shipment. Our buyers rely on us because we deliver what we promise, every time.

Transparency

Prices, documentation, and quality data are shared openly. We build long-term relationships on honest communication, not hidden margins.
