Prices for turmeric fell by -0.83% to settle at 13,906, primarily as a result of a more favourable production outlook. In expectation of higher supplies in the upcoming months, market participants decreased their positions.
Although turmeric’s export prospects have greatly improved, with a 25% increase in exports fueled by demand from both developed and emerging countries, the losses are anticipated to be minimal.
