Understanding the price

What affects the dry red chilli price?

Dry red chilli is one of India’s largest spice crops and exports. Price discovery is centred on Guntur (Andhra Pradesh) — the world’s biggest chilli market — and Byadgi (Karnataka), famous for its deep-red, low-pungency, high-colour pods. Prices vary widely by variety, from fiery Teja to colour-rich Byadgi.

Variety

Teja (high pungency), Sannam/334, Byadgi (high colour, low heat) and Wonder Hot all trade at different price levels.

Guntur & Byadgi arrivals

Daily arrivals at the major markets and cold-storage stock levels set the trend.

Export & oleoresin demand

Big export demand (notably from China and Bangladesh) and the colour/oleoresin trade strongly influence prices.

Colour (ASTA) & pungency

High colour value (ASTA) lifts Byadgi-type prices; high pungency lifts Teja-type prices.

Major producing regions

Guntur (Andhra Pradesh)

The world’s largest dry-chilli market.

Byadgi (Karnataka)

Famous for high-colour, low-pungency chilli.

Warangal & Khammam (Telangana)

Major Telangana chilli belts.

Madhya Pradesh

A growing chilli-producing region.

Grades & varieties

  • Teja (S17) — High-pungency, export-favourite chilli.
  • Byadgi — Deep-red, high-colour, low-heat — prized for oleoresin.
  • Sannam / 334 — Popular medium variety; the broad market grade.

Market factors

Dry chilli is quoted per quintal at Guntur, Byadgi and Telangana yards (normalized here to per kg). Because prices differ sharply by variety, a single ‘chilli price’ is only a guide — variety matters.

Export relevance

India is the world’s largest chilli producer and exporter. Export demand and the colour/oleoresin industry are among the strongest price drivers.

Seasonal trends

Harvest and peak arrivals run roughly February to May. Cold storage smooths supply, so prices also depend on stock held through the year.
