ITC Spices at International Spices Conference 2026

ITC Spices recently concluded its participation at the International Spice Conference 2026, held from 23^rd to 26^th February in Cochin.

At its stall, ITC presented an immersive experience into the spice value chain, offering visitors a closer look at ITC’s diverse spices portfolio, globally benchmarked, state-of-the-art processing facilities, AI-enabled technological interventions across the end-to-end value chain, robust quality systems, and farmer-centric initiatives - reinforcing its integrated and future-ready approach to spices.

Beyond the stall, ITC also participated in key conference sessions - moderating a panel discussion on crop reports and global demand, bringing valuable perspectives on crop trends, price movements, and emerging opportunities across key spices such as chilli, turmeric, cumin, and pepper - areas where ITC continues to play a crucial role in building secure, scalable, and quality-assured supply chains.

Another key highlight was ITC’s participation in the panel on ‘Smart Spices: Leveraging AI and Data to Transform Processing, Quality & Efficiency’, underscoring how AI-driven insights, digital advisories, and real-time farm data are strengthening quality, productivity, and transparency across the spices value chain. Through its AI‑enabled Phygital model covering 2.2 Mn+ farmers currently, ITCMAARS continues to advance ITC’s commitment to modernizing agriculture and rural services.

The International Spice Conference serves as a platform for industry stakeholders to deliberate on developments shaping the spices sector, including advancements in farming, processing, digitalisation, farm-to-fork traceability, and sustainability.
