★ Kerala, which produces 78% of India's cardamom, has significantly contributed to the country's dominance in the global market.

★ However, farmers in the state recently faced an exceptional 122-day drought followed by heavy rains and strong winds, affecting plant growth, increasing flower drop, and negatively impacting crop quality.

★ As a result, lower production and quality are expected.
