Turmeric is a tropical plant belonging to the ginger family. India is the largest producer, exporter, and consumer of turmeric in the world. The ideal period to plant turmeric is between September and October. It requires bright sunlight for at least three hours a day. Well-drained soil, rich in organic matter, is essential for turmeric. It is harvested in the fall or early winter once the foliage starts to turn yellow and fade. As rhizomes are collected, a portion is left in the ground, which will regrow next spring. Turmeric has been used for centuries as a spice and medicinal herb. It has strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Production is expected to be 30% lower than last year. The harvest season is almost over. There is an increased demand for planting, which has led to an increase in the price of seeds. Stock is being released slowly in the market due to this price increase.
