The sale of turmeric in the Erode markets has been poor owing to slack demand from North India. According to RKV Ravishankar, a trader, the farmers are having enough stock of turmeric but are keen on bringing only medium quality for sale and stocking the fine variety turmeric with them expecting better price. On Tuesday, 3,300 bags arrived for sale and only 55 per cent of them were sold. The finger variety lost ₹450 a quintal in the Regulated Marketing Committee. The root variety decreased by ₹150 a quintal. At the Regulated Marketing Committee, the finger turmeric fetched ₹6,919-8,174 a quintal; the root variety ₹6,799-7,573. All the 315 bags on offer were sold.
