Description
The principal use of turmeric worldwide is as a major ingredient in curry powder, but it is also used in other spice mixes. It was treasured by the ancients not only for its fragrance and flavour but also for its brilliant yellow colour. It is mentioned in the ‘Vedas’ that turmeric had been used at the time of marriage, worship and other religious ceremonies of the Hindus. Even now it is considered a sign of good omen and given prominence in functions, festivals, etc. The important uses of the turmeric are briefly described here in terms of its medicinal value, food value and industrial value. There are three important issues and challenges playing a dominant role in the production, marketing and economic of turmeric farmers in the country. Here an attempt has also been made to study the problems faced by the farmers in turmeric production. The results of the study are expected to be useful to the local extension agencies, researchers and commercial organizations in framing appropriate extension strategy to help the farmers to reduce the small farmer’s problems in adoption of recommended cultivation practices of turmeric.
