Sri LankaHow spice is traded
- Each spice has its own trade, but buyers check the same basics: cleanliness (no stones, insects or mould), moisture, aroma and oil content, and size or density.
- Pepper is graded by bulk density (grams per litre); heavier pepper is more mature and worth more. Vanilla beans are cured for months and graded by length, moisture and look.
- Some spices are regulated: Zanzibar cloves are bought from farmers by the state trading company, and Madagascar sets rules for each vanilla export season.
- Importers in the EU and USA test for pesticide residues, aflatoxin and microbes, so lab results help sell a lot.
