Very poor sale of turmeric was reported from a market.
“On Wednesday, at the Erode Turmeric Merchants Association Sales yard, only 8 per cent of the arrived turmeric was sold. This is the very poor sale in the recent past. Such poor sale is due to the non-receipt of demand experienced by the traders. But in other markets the sale was encouraging. At the Gobichettipalayam Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Society cent percent sale was recorded. In other two markets more than 60 per cent of the arrived turmeric was sold,” said RKV Ravishankar, President, Erode Turmeric Merchants Association.
He said that the price of the turmeric at the Turmeric Futures has increased by ₹70 a quintal on Wednesday morning. This has not reflected in the buying by the traders at Erode. He said there is no major price hike or decrease on Wednesday.
