Red Chilli is India’s single most valuable spice export — contributing over USD 1.2 billion to India’s total spice export value in FY 2024-25 and maintaining its position as the most commercially important spice category in the Indian export portfolio for the past decade. India’s red chilli dominance in global spice trade is built on the exceptional diversity of its chilli varieties — from the fiercely pungent Teja S-17 from Andhra Pradesh’s Guntur district (85,000-100,000 Scoville Heat Units, the preferred chilli for hot sauce manufacturers and oleoresin extractors worldwide) to the deeply coloured, mildly pungent Byadgi from Karnataka (10,000-15,000 SHU, the preferred paprika-grade chilli for European and Japanese food manufacturers seeking intense red colouring with moderate heat) — offering an unmatched range of heat levels, colour values, and flavour profiles from a single origin nation that no other chilli-producing country in the world can match. Andhra Pradesh’s Guntur district — the largest chilli market in Asia — and Karnataka’s Byadgi region collectively represent India’s most internationally recognised chilli growing zones, with Guntur chilli varieties specifically dominating the Middle Eastern, American, and Southeast Asian hot and spicy food manufacturing markets.
