the Europeans basically help to set the spices into the global market making the spices "valuable". This is because when the spices were not spread across the world globally, the worth of the spice in indonesia was low because it was so abundant that anyone who lived there could get access to it easily. With the caucasians, the value of the spices increased because spices were not easily found in the rest of the worlds, thus giving a boost to Dutch East Indies' economy.
