The price of turmeric increased on Tuesday. “Prices of some bags of finger turmeric were increased in all the markets. Only 2,031 bags of turmeric arrived for sale and the buyers purchased all the good quality turmeric among the medium variety, for their local demand. Around 68 per cent of the arrived turmeric was sold. The buyers -- though the price at the Turmeric futures showed upward trend -- cautiously quoted the prices based on its quality”, said R.K.V. Ravishankar, President, Erode Turmeric Merchants Association.
He said the second turmeric season started today. The arrival will increase in a week’s time and also the price may go up slightly. Traders are waiting for the good quality turmeric. Due to rain in North India, the demand for the turmeric from there is low now.
