    EXPORT PERFORMANCE OF TURMERIC IN INDIA
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, 2017-06-27) MAHESH, C.S.; Nagpure, Dr. S.C.
    The present study explores the growth and performance of import export of Turmeric in India (during 1995-96 to 2014-15). The following specific objectives were considered to accomplish the study: Growth and instability in area, production, productivity, consumption and export of Turmeric, the seasonal and cyclical trend in domestic prices of Turmeric, export competitiveness of Turmeric in India and structural changes in export of Turmeric.The growth rate of Turmeric in; area, production and productivity were found to be increasing. The growth rate in total area and production and productivity was 2.16 per cent,4.42 per cent and 2.22 per cent in first ,second and over all study period respectively. The instability index for area during first period (8.25 per cent) was lower compared to second period (9.50 per cent) and overall period (8.83per cent). Similarly instability index for production of turmeric was also lower in over all period (14.38 per cent) than both first period (14.99 per cent) and second period (15.30 per cent). Whereas, the instability index for yield of turmeric in second period (7.32 per cent) was lower than both first period (9.35 per cent) and overall period (9.25 per cent). The lowest seasonal index of domestic price was noticed in the month of January with 91.03 per cent which is closely followed by May with 96.20 per cent. The seasonal domestic price indices were above hundred from the month of February, March, July to December while below hundred was found in the month from April to June and also January where the market arrivals are more in India. The analysis of cyclical indices in domestic price shows that there is an uneven cycle in domestic market of Turmeric. Indian turmeric experienced highest export advantage of more than 56 per cent during the year 2006-07. During the twenty years (1995-96 to 2014-15) of study period the level of domestic price related to international price was much lower, which facilitated export advantages but except in 2002-04, 2009-10, 2012-13.The countries like UAE, UK Iran and other countries would be the stable importers of the Indian turmeric in the future and countries like USA and Japan were least stable importers.
