Nepal is not only the world's largest alainchi producer but also the country with the dumbest businessman. If India can be the second biggest exporter of the product, then why India is also the largest importer from Nepal. It's bcoz Indian businessman buy that from Nepal in cheap price and export that in a high price. I think only 10-15% of exported cardamom are produced in India and rest of em are imported from Nepal to export all that. This was the same thing with carpet industry. Once, Nepal used to  be the largest exporter of finest carpet but now, there is no Nepal and even the Nepalese carpet are taged 'Made in India'.
