    www.ijcrt.org © 2020 IJCRT | Volume 8, Issue 5 May 2020 | ISSN: 2320-2882 Problems of Pepper Cultivation- A Study Based on Idukki District Ms. Ann Mary Augustine Asst. Professor Department Of Economics Christ College, Puliuyanmala, Kerala, India ABSTRACT Spices have a very important role in the domestic & foreign market. Pepper, ’The King of Spices’ has a significant export orientation and it procures more than 40% of the foreign exchange earnings in spices export. At present pepper production shows the decreasing trend. India’s share in world pepper production declined from 23.69 percent in 1970 -1971 to 12.38 percent in 2016 – 2017. The study is confined to Idukki district only because most of the pepper production is from Idukki district. This study aims at provides an understanding of the structure and functioning of the pepper plantation and its development problems. The data and other information required for the study were collected from both primary and secondary sources. This study relies growers are losing their confidence in pepper cultivation mainly on account of its non-remunerative nature and climatic changes. Key Word: - Pepper, production, productivity, Yield 1. INTRODUCTION The richness of the culture and the fragrance of the spices were the major sources of glory of the ancient India. It is really amazing to see that India could maintain her supremacy in the production and trade of spices even from the Vedic age dating back to 6000 BC, to the modern era of the 3rd millennium. India, known all over the world as the land of spices, has the most favourable climate and soil conditions for growing spices and is the most important among spices producing countries in the world.
