Leadership
"

Quality isn't accidental. It comes from being present where the spice grows. At Mani Spices, we bridge the gap between the Idukki farmer and the global buyer.

Amarmani Tiwari
Founder & CEO, Mani Spices Exports

Mr. Tiwari identified a critical quality gap in Mumbai's spice markets in 2018 — the finest cardamom's aroma was being lost across layers of middlemen. He relocated to Idukki, Kerala, built direct farmer relationships, and formalized Mani Spices Exports in 2021 as a fully integrated farm-to-export operation.

CARDAMOM
Why We Chose Green Cardamom

A Spice That
Demands Perfection

Cardamom is more than a spice — it is the soul of Indian heritage. We specialize exclusively in Elaichi because its value lies in aroma and oil content, qualities that are destroyed by every extra hand in the supply chain. That is why we own the entire process.

8–10% Essential Oil

Our graded 8mm+ pods consistently test at the upper end of the volatile oil range.

900m Avg. Altitude

High-altitude cultivation produces pods with significantly richer aroma compounds.

Pesticide-Free Sourcing

Every lot is traceable to specific farms. Lab reports on pesticide residue provided with each export shipment, compliant with EU and US import standards.

Aroma Preserved at Source

Kiln-drying — not sun-drying — locks in essential oils immediately after harvest. No aroma loss during transit or storage.

Laser Color-Sorting Technology

Precision grading by size (7mm to 8.5mm+) and color density. Every grade is consistent — batch to batch, season to season.

Global Export Compliance

Packaging and documentation aligned with Middle East, USA, and European import requirements. Smooth customs clearance for every order.
