The table below shows total global spice production in 2004 (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations statistics):
| India | 1 600 000 | 86% |
| China | 66 000 | 4% |
| Bangladesh | 48 000 | 3% |
| Pakistan | 45 300 | 2% |
| Turkey | 33 000 | 2% |
| Nepal | 15 500 | 1% |
| Other countries | 60 900 | 3% |
| Total | 1 868 700 | 100% |
This country is a well known leader in number of movies filmed each year. And now I discovered it is a leader in spices production.
India is all about hot and spicy! Do species drive entertainment industry or it is just coincidence?
