SHARP FALL IN OUTPUT: Clove being weighed at a spices shop in Aluva near Kochi. The sharp fall in global clove output is likely to push up prices in the international market. Production in Indonesia, world’ s largest clove producer, is estimated at only 10 - 20 per cent of total production. India’s requirement stands at 8,000 - 10,000 tonnes while production stands at 1,000 - 2,000 tonnes, making it a net importer of the commodity.
