Spices produced in Southeast Asia were once very valuable commodities. As a shipping hub, Singapore's spice trade promotes the vigorous development of local commercial ports. At the beginning of the 20th century, spices, tin ore and gum were exported to all parts of the world in Singapore, and Singapore became the seventh largest seaport in the world. At the beginning of the 19th century, Raffles had established experimental botanical gardens in the large areas of Mount Forkoning, Armenian Church, Belashbasha Road and the Domego subway station, with an area equal to more than 20 football fields. Raffles has put so much effort to open up botanical gardens in the urban area because Europeans like spices very much, which makes the price of spices rise.

Raffles has put so much effort to open up botanical gardens in the urban area because Europeans like spices very much, which makes the price of spices rise. How big is the profit of spices? Spices are like gold. When Portugal's Magellan fleet circled the globe and returned to Europe, they sold "several bags of cloves" brought back from Moluccas on the market. The profits they get from it are enough to pay for the expenses and remuneration of the entire fleet and sailors for several trips back and forth.
At the beginning of the 17th century, Venetian merchants purchased a ship of spices from the Indonesian Spice Islands (Maluku Islands) at a cost of about 3000 pounds, which could be sold at 36000 pounds on the British market. The profit from spice trade is very considerable.
At that time, spices were not only used for cooking and flavoring, or to cover up the rotten smell of stale meat and vegetables, but more importantly, spices such as beans, cloves, meat beans, cinnamon and pepper were actually of medical value.
