Turmeric markets in Erode will remain closed until the lorry strike is called off, according to Mr R.V. Ravishankar, President, Erode Turmeric Merchants Association.
Farmers are unable to bring the produce to markets and buyers are unable to send consignments outside Erode due to the strike, he said. Markets, which were supposed to open on Tuesday after being closed for four days, could not reopen as the strike continued, he said. Farmers said they are facing a double whammy as apart from the strike, lack of demand has pulled down turmeric below Rs 6,000 a quintal.
