NIRCA Supports Andhra Farmers for Better Turmeric Livelihoods

In Andhra Pradesh, many farmers grow turmeric, a spice used in food and medicine.

The ICAR-NIRCA institute is helping these farmers.

They're teaching farmers how to properly prepare their turmeric after harvesting, making it better quality.

The institute will also help farmers get official certifications to prove their turmeric is high-quality.

This will allow them to sell it for more money and reach more customers.

The institute also plans to connect farmers with big buyers, like spice companies and exporters.

They are also working to give the local turmeric a special geographical tag to highlight its unique qualities and protect the farmers who grow it.
