turmeric cultivation

SK4, a high-yielding turmeric variety developed by Sachin Kamlakar Karekar, is transforming farming in 13 states across the country.

A chance visit to Manisha Gosain's land in Dehradun during the COVID-19 pandemic gave her and her sister, Namita Rawat Negi, the idea to convert it into the Doon Gooseberry Farm. They grow vegetables like tomatoes, brinjals, pumpkins, spinach, and more, and sell value-added products made from them.

Meet Trinity Saioo who started lakadong turmeric cultivation in 2003. Today one thousand acre of land spread across Meghalaya is producing the turmeric that yields profitable returns.
