Turmeric Rhizomes

Product Details:

Lakadong Turmeric
​Origin: Jaintia Hills, Meghalaya. 
​Description: Widely considered the "world's best" turmeric due to its exceptionally high curcumin content (7% to 12%). It has a deep, vibrant orange color and a very potent, earthy aroma. 
​Market Value: This is a premium product. Because of its GI (Geographical Indication) tag, it fetches the highest price in pharmaceutical and health-wellness markets.
​2. Rajendra Sonia
​Origin: Developed by RAU, Pusa (Bihar). 
​Description: A high-yielding variety (approx. 40–45 tonnes/ha) with a shorter duration of 200–210 days. It is known for being highly resistant to leaf spot and moderately resistant to leaf blotch. 
​Market Value: It is a favorite among commercial farmers because it balances a high curcumin level (approx. 7–8%) with massive yield potential, making it very profitable for bulk sales. 
​3. Megha Turmeric-1
​Origin: ICAR, Meghalaya (Selection from Lakadong).
​Description: This variety was specifically developed to handle high rainfall and hilly terrains, making it very resilient. It has a curcumin content of about 6.8% to 7.2%. 
​Market Value: It is excellent for organic farming and is well-suited for the climatic conditions in Assam and the North East. It offers a "middle ground" between the premium Lakadong and high-yield commercial types.
​4. Megha-2 (Mega One)
​Origin: Meghalaya.
​Description: Often referred to alongside Megha-1, this variety is typically selected for its even higher tolerance to diseases like rhizome rot and leaf blotch. Its curcumin content is usually around 5% to 6%.
​Market Value: While the curcumin is slightly lower than Lakadong, its stability and disease resistance make it a "safer" bet for large-scale plantations where crop loss is a major risk.
