Gandhinagar (Gujarat) [India], August 29 (ANI): Gujarat is leading in cumin and other spice seeds exports, with a contribution of nearly 80 per cent, in the country. The city of Unjha, located in Mehsana, has enhanced Gujarat's leadership in cumin trade, supplying both India and overseas locations, a release said on Friday.
