A Study on The Socio-Economic Impact and Export Potential of Mundu Chilli Cultivation in Ramanathapuram District, Tamil Nadu
Abstract
Cultivated in Tamil Nadu's Ramanathapuram district, Mundu chilli is a valuable spice valued for its distinct flavour and market demand. The socioeconomic effects of growing Mundu chillies on nearby farmers are investigated in this study, along with the possibility of exporting them. Farmers, traders, and exporters in the area were interviewed and given structured questionnaires to complete in order to gather data. According to the study, Mundu chilli cultivation boosts household income, creates jobs, and advances rural development in general. Problems with post-harvest management, limited access to contemporary farming methods, and fluctuating market prices were also noted as obstacles. If quality standards and value-adding procedures are raised, the analysis of export trends shows a lot of potential for growing global trade. The findings suggest that with proper support, Mundu chilli cultivation can enhance farmers’ livelihoods and contribute to regional economic growth.
