Out of the 109 different spices listed by International Organization for Standardization (ISO), 75 different varieties of spices are grown in India because of varied agro-climatic conditions and soil types. The geo-climatic situation of Mizoram offers an excellent scope for growing different horticulture crops including fruits, vegetables, spices, plantation crops, medicinal and aromatic plants of high economic value (Department of Horticulture, Govt. of Mizoram).
