Abstract

Large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Roxb.) is Nepal’s most valuable spice crop and a major export commodity, primarily cultivated in Ilam, Taplejung, Panchthar, and Sankhuwasabha. Despite rising global demand, productivity is declining due to price volatility, lack of technical knowledge, poor planting material, traditional curing methods, and high disease susceptibility. Post-harvest losses, limited market access, and trade tariffs further hinder commercialization. India remains the primary buyer and re-exporter. Pests and diseases threaten production, impacting Nepal’s hilly agricultural economy. So,this review emphasizes integrated pest management, improved processing, and market expansion to sustain Nepal’s competitive edge. Findings are based on published research and government reports, offering insights for policymakers, researchers, and farmers.
