Understanding the price

What affects the clove price?

Clove — laung — is the dried flower bud of an evergreen tree. It is not native to India (its home is the Maluku “Spice Islands” of Indonesia), but it is grown on homestead gardens across the Western Ghats in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Because India produces only a fraction of what it consumes, Indian clove prices track global supply closely.

Read the in-depth Clove guide — history, uses & benefits

Global supply

Indonesia, Madagascar and Zanzibar dominate world output. Their harvests and export flows set the baseline for Indian clove prices.

Import dependence

India imports the bulk of its cloves, so the landed cost (global price + freight + duty) largely drives the domestic rate.

Bud quality & oil content

Plump, unopened, oil-rich hand-picked buds fetch a premium over headless or “mother” cloves.

Festival & export demand

Demand from garam-masala blenders, the food industry and the clove-oil trade firms prices around festivals.

Major producing regions

Kerala

Homestead clove gardens in Idukki, Kottayam and the high ranges.

Tamil Nadu

The Nilgiris and Kanyakumari hills.

Karnataka

Shade-grown cloves in the Ghats.

Indonesia, Madagascar, Zanzibar (global)

The world’s leading producers — they set the benchmark.

Grades & varieties

  • Hand-picked whole buds — Plump, unopened, oil-rich — the premium grade.
  • Headless cloves — Buds that lost their crown — sold at a discount.
  • Mother cloves — The mature fruit — the value end.

Market factors

Clove is a thinly-traded spice in Indian mandis, so wholesale rates are best read as indicative reference prices that move with global supply and the rupee.

Export relevance

India is a net importer of clove, but value-added clove oil and oleoresin are exported. Global price swings flow quickly into Indian rates.

Seasonal trends

The Indian harvest is small and runs roughly December to February; prices are driven more by the Indonesian/Madagascan crop calendar than by local seasonality.

What is the clove price today in India?

The figure above is an indicative wholesale rate per kilogram. Because India imports most of its cloves, the price largely reflects global supply and the landed import cost rather than a single live auction.

Why is clove relatively expensive?

Cloves are hand-picked bud by bud, India grows very little of its own, and global supply is concentrated in a few countries — all of which keep prices firm.
