All-India Spice Exporters Forum and AASTA partner to foster global cooperation in the spice industry

This MoU aims at improving food safety, regulatory compliance, and promoting the adoption of best practices within the spice industry.

All-India Spice Exporters Forum signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the American Spice Trade Association (AASTA) which marks a significant step forward in fostering global cooperation in the spice industry.

This agreement, finalised at the International Spice Conference – 2025 in Bangalore, is designed to strengthen the relationship between India and the United States in the spice business.

This MoU aims at improving food safety, regulatory compliance, and promoting the adoption of best practices within the spice industry. Special attention will be paid to areas such as information exchange, technical cooperation, and industry promotion.

By keeping each other informed on changes in government policies, market needs, food safety standards, and trade regulations, both organizations aim to enhance communication and ensure that stakeholders in the spice trade stay up-to-date with the latest developments.

The agreement also focuses on the exchange of key market insights. For instance, AASTA will provide the Indian Forum with information regarding the demand and specific requirements for spices in the American market.

In return, AASTA will receive updates on the production and stock status of Indian spices, allowing both sides to adapt their strategies accordingly.

Additionally, India has the potential to assist the United States in improving the quality of various spices, conducting joint research, and enhancing microbiological safety and residue control.

This collaboration is expected to be highly beneficial for India’s spice exports, particularly since the American market presents significant opportunities for growth.

By fostering stronger ties and promoting higher standards in production and trade, this partnership will likely lead to greater success for both nations in the global spice industry
