Trends in Turmeric Exports from India
Note: Although export demand would be around 40,000 tons annually, good export demand could drive
the prices. Export demand is rising from last couple of years on account of increased non-food use
and also food use in some countries.

Turmeric spot price trend
Spot Market Price Trend: (NCDEX) Rs./quintal
 The weekly chart confirms seasonality. Prices fall during
harvest period – Dec to Mar and rise subsequently.
However, overall price trend has been bearish.

First fall –. From Rs 3238.40 levels (September 2003) to Rs
2129.55 levels (May 2005).

Second fall – From 2840.35 levels (December 2005) to a
new low at Rs 2016 levels (April 2006).

Thereafter, prices moved up towards Rs 2580 levels
(September 2006).



After unable to break above the important resistance of
Rs 2600 level, prices fell in the past two weeks ahead of
harvest season.
The downward trend remains valid in the foreseeable
future. Spot market prices may fall towards the next
major support of Rs 2200-2250 levels.

Price analysis - NCDEX
Market Review:
 NCDEX Turmeric (Nov’06) futures prices
settled at new contract low at Rs 2505 levels
on Thursday.
 During the past 9 consecutive trade
sessions, prices fell by 12.7% from the
September 22nd high of Rs 2860 levels.
 Of course, prices have been falling in a
downward channel. If the prices continue
within the channel, then one has to look at

Price analysis - NCDEX
Front Month Dec’06 futures
 NCDEX Turmeric (Dec’06) futures prices also fell by
12.96% to Rs 2537 levels from the September 22nd
high of Rs 2915 levels.
 Now on the upside prices may face immediate
resistance at around Rs 2600 level. Once this
resistance is broken then one has to look at the next
resistance at around Rs 2650 level.
 Volume and open interest supported the fall.
 As long as prices hold below Rs 2650 level, that will
keep the prices into negative territory.

On the other hand, prices may face immediate
support at around Rs 2500 and then Rs 2400 level.

When we look, at the weekly continuation chart, so
far, prices made two major peaks and one trough.

Turmeric - Price Outlook
The All India Spices Conference
Price outlook - NCDEX
Price Outlook:
 Overall, turmeric price trend remains bearish in
the short to medium term
 Though, festival and Indian Marriage season,
turmeric futures prices may move in southward,
due to, good crop conditions across producing areas
in India.
 NCDEX (Nov’06) futures prices may drop towards
the next major support of Rs 2350 levels. If this
support is broken then one has to look at the next
major support at around Rs 2200 level.
