Market and export potential

Market and Packaging : 


The properly dried capsules should be allowed to cool and then packed in polythene lined jute bags. The bags may be stored on wooden platform away from sidewall to avoid absorption of moisture and thereby to avoid fungal growth on the stored produce. There is no problem in marketing of large cardamom. Traders of each and every market purchase this, but for better price marketing in Auction-centers is better and benefits the farmers at large.
