Enumerate the uses of spice crops?

Answer 1

Yes I agree but why should we do it? Have you thought of that?

Answer 2

Generally they would fall into the category of food crops, medicinal crops, or aesthetic products. They are a great niche crop item if one has a market for it, but without a market one might have a problem unloading a ton of oregano. If one is in a farmers market a wide selection would probably be alright but not a single crop. It is probably better to have a buyer for a bulk item and the buyer will tell you that they need 50 pounds of basil tops every Tuesday and Friday, or ginseng root in 20 pound crates can be picked up if you have a minimum of 50 crates or you can drop it off. You may get a good sale to garden centers for flats of 4" assorted herbs/ spices in the early spring, with later sales pending if the product does well and is of good quality (that all depends on your greenhouse, the management techniques and how warm you keep it $$$). It is possible to get a good deal on the production of a medicinal plant but that kind of arrangement is dependent on where the company is, where you are, your capability, etc.

Spices have been prominent in human history virtually since their inception. Spices were among the most valuable items of trade in the ancient and medieval world. In the story of Genesis, Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers to spice merchants. In the biblical poem Song of Solomon, the male speaker compares his beloved to many forms of spices.
