“The establishment of the Turmeric Board holds paramount importance. It facilitates research and development efforts to enhance turmeric crop yields, quality, and export potential,” said Reddy. “Moreover, it provides a platform for farmers to access valuable resources, information, and financial support, ultimately improving their socio-economic status,” he added. Reddy praised the government’s commitment to empowering farmers and boosting the turmeric industry, fostering growth, and ensuring a sustainable future for this vital agricultural sector.
