Turmeric saw a -1.51% dip, closing at 14830, as buying activity decreased in advance of stock releases prior to the start of new plantings. A further factor driving up prices was better crop conditions brought on by fortunate weather. Lessening production projections and tighter market stocks, however, limit the downside. There is clear support for increased export prospects.
The crop is doing well, and the harvest should be ready in January or March. Price stability is predicted to be maintained by current levels of purchasing activity and declining supply. Turmeric exports have climbed by 25% as a result of rising demand in both developed and emerging markets.
Farmers’ changing priorities are reflected in the expected 20–25% reduction in turmeric seeding this year, especially in regions like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana.
