About World Spice Congress

World Spice Congress is the global spice trade forum hosted biennially by APEDA and Spices Board India. The Congress rotates across major Indian spice-producing cities (Hyderabad, Goa, Madurai, Mumbai) and brings together 500+ international delegates including spice processors, oleoresin manufacturers, global trade buyers, and Spices Board India officials.

Each WSC edition focuses on a current global spice trade theme — sustainability, traceability, organic certification, food-safety compliance, or digital trade. Radiance Overseas has participated in select editions as a delegate, including 2018 (Madurai) and 2022 (Hyderabad).

Strategic Importance

Why WSC Matters

World Spice Congress is the highest-quality concentrated forum for Indian spice exporters to engage directly with global processors, oleoresin buyers, and Spices Board India policymakers shaping export rules.

Unlike general food expos, WSC is exclusively spice-focused and draws attendees who are decision-makers in spice procurement, oleoresin extraction, and spice-blend manufacturing. Indian-origin turmeric, cumin, cardamom, chilli, coriander, and spice oils are showcased to global buyers ready to commit to multi-container annual contracts.

Key buyers: Global spice traders · Spice processors · Oleoresin manufacturers · International chefs and culinary brands · Spices Board India delegates · Government export agencies
