Production System – 7: Turmeric Cultivation<br />
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is used as spice, dye and in cosmetic industry. It is an erect, perennial herb grown as an annual crop. Turmeric<br />
will be grown in the cluster villages as a rainfed crop depending on location. It comes up well under sparse shade also and can be grown as<br />
an intercrop. The Agro climatic condition <strong>of</strong> <strong>Gujarat</strong> is ideal for cultivation <strong>of</strong> turmeric. As small cottage industries are on the increase<br />
where drying, processing and grinding <strong>of</strong> turmeric can be done, there is tremendous scope in increasing the area under turmeric further. It<br />
is therefore, proposed to cover an area <strong>of</strong> 2 Ha. @ Rs. 75,600/- per Ha. totaling a sum <strong>of</strong> Rs.1.52 lakhs during the project period in two<br />
villages namely Panchavada and Jasapar. Details <strong>of</strong> cost estimate and year wise physical and financial break-up is given below.<br />
