Erode TurmericorErodu Manjal is a type of turmeric, a spice category which is grown in the Erode region of Tamil Nadu, India. It has been recognized as a Geographical indication by the Government of India in 2019.[1] Erode turmeric is known for its high curcumin (>90%).[2]

Production[edit]

Among the two major varieties of turmeric, the Chinna Nadan variety is grown widely. Erode Turmeric occupies more than 70% of the turmeric grown in Erode and Coimbatore districts.[3] As of 2021, the variety is grown in 50,000 acres across Tamil Nadu. The turmeric is exported to countries like Bangladesh, Malaysia, Singapore, UK, USA and the Middle East.[4]

There are four (three in Erode, one in Gobichettipalayam) regulated markets for selling erode turmeric in Erode district.[5]

Geographical Indication[edit]

The Erode Turmeric Merchants Association applied for Geographical Indication recognition of Erode Turmeric through Government of Tamil Nadu. The Government of India recognized it as a Geographical indication officially in 2019.[6]
