The present investigation tries to assess the trends in export of spices of India and its export competitiveness in global framework. The study is based on secondary data for the period 2008 to 2015. The Simpson Diversity Index (SDI) is used to measure the export diversity, whereas the Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage (RSCA) ratio assessed the comparative advantage of Indian spice industry in the international market. The degree of reliance of domestic producers of the importing countries on foreign markets is derived from Export Propensity Index (EPI). The findings are presented in the form of tables and graphs.
