CARDAMOM
by procuring through
Primary Marketing Co-operative Societies and the business
was controlled by our Kochi and Kozhikode branches. That
was a remarkable event, in golden letters, in the history
of Marketfed. By 1983-84 we have reached the peak level
by achieving a target of 250 MT. Marketfed still holds
command over Cardamom procurement. Inorder to increase
the volume of business and for the upgradation of the
quality of the cardamom, we established a grading centre
at Bodinayakannur in Tamil nadu. Our Cardamom has been
regularly sold through more than 1,000 outlets in the
metropolitan area of Delhi and steps are being taken to
expand the market to Mumbai and Kolkotta along with our
regular exports.
