This time, the price has gone up by Rs 2,000 per quintal in comparison to last month. Freshly harvested turmeric is sold at Rs 10,500 per quintal while old stock is sold at Rs 10,000. Farmers, however, said production decreased by 25 per cent compared to last year as poor returns forced many to shift to cultivating tapioca and other crop. With prices rising, there is a buzz in the regulated market as hordes of farmers from across Tamil Nadu and Karnataka are converging on Erode.  Speaking to TNIE, Erode Turmeric Merchants Association Secretary M Sathyamoorthy said that the main reason for the rise in price is the increase in exports and suppy constraints.
