Well everyone in the market chain has to make some profit. Thats first thing that bumps up the price. And second of course is the transport. Depending on how long stuff can last and location its either transported by plain, ship, truck or train (often combination of these). And of course plane transportation isnt exactly cheap. So its logical that the final price is a lot higher than what the farmer gets. The question is how much the transport costs and who makes what ammount of profit. It could be fair or not but its impossible to tell just based on difference of those two prices.

Interesting. I am Swedish. Christmas is the only time of year when we do not have sweet bread with cardamom... During Christmas time sweet bread is spiced with an even more expensive spice - saffron. But for the rest of the year cardamom is the spice to add to the bread (or actually the dough) cinnamon buns always have cardamom in the dough and cinnamon, sugar, and butter in the filling. I have recently experimented with cardamom-spiced vanilla ice cream, which is rather interesting. You add more and more cardamom and it gets better and better. You just want the next batch to have more cardamom, then suddenly it is just too much and you need to decrease the amount because it is close to unconsumable. The amount limit is of course individual, but it is a very fine line between "I want more cardamom" and "this is unedible/awful".

As an owner of 1 acre cardamom land producing over 400kg a year I'm surprised how simple yet informative this video is, For the people who are concerned about the labour wage they get paid around Rs.500 to Rs.700 ($7 to $10) for 6.5 hours of working time, Yes they are underpaid but still save more than an average engineer does in a month in India. They all have their house and family nearby the farm itself and atleast 3 person works for the same farm a day from a family so yeah the job is convenient and nothing special compared to other farming practices except for men where things get difficult due to the inclined position of land and rocks it's hard to carry the bags weighing 50kg a person and to mix the sand for both plantation and cleaning process especially in rainy season. It's the peace and aroma that matters to us and keeps ourselves happy all the time despite other factors like low wages etc. I live in the southern part of India (Kerala - Munnar to be specific).

I had recently ordered 2kg of Idukki's green cardamom (8mm quality) over whatsapp from a local reseller there @ 1500 INR (which is 20 USD) per kg. These sellers or agents from Idukki and Kochi are all over the facebook groups if youre looking for cardamom. Also, it's true that cardamom's colour has a lot do with how easily it can be sold to retailers, so it fetches good value. For this, you can sometimes have the sellers / farmers add artificial colour for your batch, which is a common practice not unheard of.
