The Rs. 19-crore state-of-art turmeric marketing complex established on a 10-acre at Karumandisellipalayam is all set to start functioning from Monday.
Such a market has been the demand of turmeric cultivators for long, since the produce could be stocked in the godowns which has an overall capacity to store 15,500 tonnes. The complex has a transaction shed, office building, bank building, separate rest houses for traders and farmers, drying yard, weigh bridge, canteen, and huge parking space for vehicles.
The auction of turmeric will first be conducted at the new facility and then at Semmampalayam, which was hitherto managed by traders and would henceforth be administered by Regulated Market Committee.
About 200 bags have already arrived at the complex, secretary of Erode Regulated Marketing Committee R.N. Muruganantham said.
