Turmeric is one of India's most historically significant agricultural exports. Sourced extensively from major growing corridors in Maharashtra, Telangana, and Southern India, Indian turmeric is celebrated for its deep golden pigmentation and natural aromatic characteristics.
Understanding Turmeric Grading
Commercial turmeric is primarily exported in two distinct forms: whole polished turmeric fingers and finely milled turmeric powder. When evaluating turmeric for export, buyers prioritize sound rhizome integrity, low extraneous matter, and proper curing that preserves natural colour without artificial enhancement.
Post-Harvest Handling & Moisture Control
Proper solar curing and moisture management (maintaining relative moisture below 10-11%) are essential to prevent mould proliferation during long ocean transit. JIJA EXIM ensures that turmeric is packed in moisture-resistant polypropylene or multilayer Kraft bags to safeguard freshness from Indian ports to international destinations.
