Turmeric prices crossed ₹23,000 a quintal at the Perundurai Regulated Market on Wednesday (October 14, 2026), touching their highest level in recent years. Lower arrivals, drought conditions in major growing regions, and uncertainty over the next crop are expected to influence prices in the coming weeks.

Turmeric is widely cultivated in Erode and Dharmapuri districts and parts of Karnataka. The commodity is traded at regulated markets in Erode and Perundurai and at the Agricultural Producers’ Cooperative Marketing Societies in Karungalpalayam and Gobichettipalayam.
