India accounts for 62 percent of the global turmeric trade.

The National Turmeric Board was launched in Nizamabad, Telangana on the 14th to increase turmeric cultivation and provide business opportunities to farmers.

Through this, the board will ensure the quality of turmeric, regulate testing and certification.

In this context, the study published by ICRIER states:

Tumeric importing countries have recently increased their rejection of Indian turmeric. High price fluctuations and decreasing cultivation area are also challenges facing India in the turmeric trade.

It is necessary for the government to intervene at the right time and stabilize turmeric production; and to empower and encourage farmers.

Challenges for farmers.

  • Sudden price drop
  • Unfavorable weather conditions.
  • Pest attack
  • Good procurement opportunities.
  • Soil fertility decline.
  • Indian turmeric trade in the international market is 62%
  • National Turmeric Board was launched on the 14th.
  • Production has been declining for three consecutive years

Despite India's large share in the global turmeric market, farmers are turning away from turmeric cultivation for various reasons, which could have a negative impact in the future.

Many farmers are backing away as turmeric importing countries are unable to produce it at the desired quality.

In particular, sudden price drops, unfavorable weather conditions, pest attacks, inability to identify suitable purchasing companies, and soil degradation that makes it impossible to provide quality cultivation are the main reasons for this. As a result, turmeric production has been declining for the last three years.

This is stated in the report.

This gold price is not permanent.

This gold price is not permanent, but when people think of a problem in the country, they buy gold first. It is good to buy as much as needed, but buying too much is foolish. When there is a famine, the things they buy are food, clothing, and money. If we don't have money, it is difficult to sell gold for urgent needs. Gold price Gold market crash history   Will there ever be a situation where gold , which has been rising very, very rapidly in a short period of time, will become a commodity? Studies on gold say that it may come. If we look at the price of gold over the past 50 years, rather than just 10 or 20 years, it seems that what you are saying has happened. That is, in September 1980, the price of 1 ounce of gold touched $666. 19 years later, in September 1999, the same 1 ounce of gold was sold for $255. A 62 percent decline. An ounce did not touch $666 again until 2007. That is, 27 years later. Next, in 2012, 1 ounce of gold touched $1,772. But, in just three ye...
