Red Chilli Export: Why India’s Guntur S17 Teja and Sannam S4 Rule the Global Spice Market

India is the world's undisputed leader in Red Chilli production and export, contributing nearly 75% of the total global spice trade. Among the myriad varieties, the Teja S17 and Sannam S4 from the Guntur-Warangal belt in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana stand out as the gold standard for pungency, color, and flavor.

The Power of Guntur Chillies

The unique soil composition and climatic conditions of the Guntur region create the perfect environment for capsaicin development. This results in chillies that are not just spicy but flavorful.

• Teja S17: Known as one of the hottest chilli varieties, Teja S17 is highly sought after for extraction purposes (Oleoresin) and for cuisines requiring intense heat. Its bright red color and high pungency (Shimoga heat units) make it a favorite in Southeast Asian and Chinese markets.
• Sannam S4: This variety balances heat with a rich, uniform red color. It is widely used in seasoning, spice mixes, and direct consumption across Europe and the Middle East.
