Farmers selling their own cardamom or pepper don't need GST. Dealers, auctioneers' buyers, curing and processing units and exporters in Vattavada need registration, especially when spices are sent to buyers outside Kerala.
Tea & coffee plantations
Estates selling only unprocessed leaf or cherry from their own land are treated as agriculturists for that sale. Estates with factories, curing works, packers and traders in Vattavada usually register, because buyers and auction systems expect a GSTIN.
