Spot turmeric prices slipped on Wednesday due to absence of upcountry orders.
“The farmers brought only 2,600 bags of turmeric for sale. Of this, 1,290 bags were sold, mostly procured by stockists. The traders are waiting for upcountry orders so they are quoting prices very cautiously, buying very limited stocks to cater their committed masala firm orders,” said RKV Ravishankar, President, Erode Turmeric Merchants Association.

At the Erode Turmeric Merchants Association sales yard, the finger turmeric was sold at ₹4,199-6,417 a quintal; the root variety ₹4,009-6,299.
