• Black Pepper — Kerala's Tellicherry TGSEB is the world's most valued pepper grade. Preferred by specialty food companies and premium spice blenders.
• Red Chilli — Guntur S4 and S17 from Andhra Pradesh dominate global trade. Byadgi (low heat, deep colour) is preferred by European and Japanese processors.
