Spices are getting expensive
Global climate change poses increasingly serious challenges to the growers of tropical plants, which results in a significant increase in the price of the world’s third most expensive spice, cardamom. In recent months, weather extremes such as heat waves, droughts, and heavy rains and floods experienced in other regions have severely affected cardamom plantations, leading to a significant reduction in yields.
The El Niño climate phenomenon has particularly intensified the effects of climate change and may bring additional heat records in the coming years. According to IFLScience’s model calculations, these weather changes will be permanent, so producers will have to adapt to the changed conditions in the long term.
Climate change is already having a significant impact on cardamom cultivation. In India, the heavy rains and floods experienced in recent months caused serious damage to the plantations, while in Guatemala, where we get the cardamom, a severe drought caused damage due to El Niño, so the harvest was halved, reports IFLScience.
