The Indian spices industry, with a massive growth surge in recent years, has played a pivotal role in driving the economic growth of the country. Despite economic slowdowns amid the covid-19 pandemic, the spices sector sustained its growth momentum with increased adoption of AI-based technologies, digitization & automated processes. It is also worth pointing out that this technological shift ensured quality-based fulfillment of the spice demand, amongst many other advancements, that witnessed a massive uptick in the last two years.

As experts say, the spices industry is expected to further grow at a CAGR of 10.8% by 2027. However, projecting growth with subjective, traditional processes can result in inevitable procurement losses for businesses. A switch to modern, tech-based solutions is imperative to compete & eliminate persisting losses due to:

• Human errors
• Time-consuming processes
• Manual tampering
• Delayed on-ground operations

Getting into grips with the growing demand for spices, both domestic & export, the leading & emerging industry players are increasingly opting for faster, safer & digital alternatives to keep in pace with the changing market. Businesses are ramping up their production potential with critical procurement insights & automated processes to sustain an upward growing graph in this era of agricultural transformation.
