# SpiceValue

> SpiceValue is a reading layer on Spices Board India small-cardamom e-auctions at Puttady (Idukki, Kerala) and Bodinayakanur / Bodi (Theni, Tamil Nadu). It is not a pan-India mandi or newsroom; its AI cardamom price predictions are indicative estimates with stated uncertainty bands, not guaranteed targets.

## Source
