“After Covid, awareness about turmeric has increased and global demand has also increased. Today it is important to pay more attention professionally and take an initiative in the value chain of turmeric, from production to export… Looking at the necessity of turmeric farmers and future opportunities, the centre has decided to establish a National Turmeric Board,” PM Modi said addressing a gathering in the state’s Mahabubnagar.
Farmers in Telangana particularly produce turmeric in huge quantities. Nizamabad, Nirmal and Jagtial districts are known for their huge cultivation of turmeric. The finger and bulb varieties of turmeric from here are exported abroad apart from catering to domestic and commercial needs.
