Turmeric futures ended up over one per cent because of a dip in arrivals at Erode. Expectations of a decline in production in 2017-18 (July-June) too supported the prices. Spot prices remained unchanged. On Tuesday, 3,400 bags arrived for sale at Erode markets and the buyers purchased 65-70 per cent of the arrivals. At the Erode Cooperative Marketing Society, fine variety finger turmeric was sold for ₹8,900 a quintal and medium variety for ₹8,400. And good quality root turmeric fetched ₹7,900.
