Turmeric Global Trade: From Kitchen to Pharmaceutics

Turmeric belongs to the ginger family of plants, which is around 5 to 6 feet tall. The underground stem of this plant, called the rhizome, is used for culinary, cosmetic, and medicinal purposes. In Hinduism and Buddhism, they are also used in religious ceremonies. The origin of turmeric can be traced back to around 4,000 years ago to the Vedic culture of India. Back then, people used to recommend an ointment containing turmeric for relieving the effects of any poisoned food. The word "turmeric" has its origin in the Latin word "terra merita", which means "meritorious earth". The word refers to the colour of ground turmeric, which is similar to a mineral pigment. 

A major component of Turmeric is Curcumin, which is responsible for the yellow colour of turmeric spice. Due to turmeric's anti-cancer and other health-beneficial properties, it is widely used for medicinal purposes. People often take raw turmeric to boost their immune system. It is not restricted to that; Indians also make a paste out of wild turmeric and apply it on their face to reduce tanning. This home remedy has inspired many skincare brands to add turmeric to moisturisers, serums, masks, etc. Furthermore, there are many ongoing studies based on the usefulness of turmeric/curcumin for high cholesterol, osteoarthritis, and other lipid disorders. 



Turmeric's Golden Years in the Global Trade

Originating in South Asia, Turmeric has now crossed the border barrier and has reached various countries through trading. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties have extended their uses in the pharmaceutical sector. This is why the EU and the USA consumer markets of turmeric are expanding in recent years. Turmeric is a key ingredient that blends spirituality, health, and cuisine. Multiple research shows that the health-beneficial effects of turmeric can be shown even when it is taken in small amounts.

Moreover, India is the hub for spices like turmeric. It contributes 80% to the global turmeric production and 62% to the global turmeric trade. Keeping that in view, the domination of India in global trade is evident in itself. Turmeric is listed in the "One District One Product" policy of the PM Formalisation of Micro food processing Enterprises Scheme in all North Eastern states of India. This provides financial, marketing, and skill development assistance to farmers and exporters. Hence, the shining years of turmeric in the global trade speak for itself.


When you move from production to selling (whether domestically or internationally), there are certain things that buyers of turmeric powder or fresh turmeric look for. Making sure that you fulfill those expectations can help you find them quickly. Here are the key factors that buyers mostly seek when they look for suppliers:

  • Yellow to orange colour (shows the high concentration of curcumin)
  • It should have a strong and earthy aroma
  • Fine and powdery, there shouldn't be any clumps or additives
  • The taste should be slightly bitter and earthy
  • Packaging should contain the curcumin content (the higher the better)
  • Should pass the water test (pure turmeric will settle at the bottom and turn the water light yellow after it is mixed)
  • A vibrant orange colour should be present at the root of fresh turmeric
