Spot turmeric prices at the markets in Erode showed a steady trend even as the sales registered a decline due to the arrival of medium quality produce.
“Only 60 per cent of the arrivals were sold and traders are waiting for some upcountry demand. At present, they are getting demand from local masala units and grinding units,”
said RKV Ravishankar, President, Erode Turmeric Merchants Association.
At the Erode Turmeric Merchants Association, finger turmeric was sold at ₹5,239-6,589 a quintal, root variety at ₹4,711-5,869. Of the arrival of 1,390 bags, 587 were sold.
