Both the price of turmeric and arrivals increased on Thursday. “Usually, when the arrival of turmeric increases traders will quote a lower price and purchase the same. The arrival in all the markets has increased and totally 7,200 bags arrived for sale on Thursday. Traders, after examining the samples, quoted higher prices and purchased the same. This is due to the demand received by traders and also the quality”, said RKV Ravishankar, President, Erode Turmeric Merchants Association.
