Erode Turmeric Power Loom Cloth Market Tamil Nadu

Erode district is the "Turmeric City" of India — the country's largest turmeric spot market where over 300 varieties of turmeric from all producing states (Tamil Nadu, Telangana, AP, Maharashtra, Odisha) are traded in bulk, with the Erode turmeric market determining the national benchmark price for the spice. Erode also hosts one of South India's largest cloth markets for power-loom produced cotton fabrics — the Erode Cloth Market complex handles over 500 crore of fabric trades daily from the Bhavani-Gobichettipalayam power-loom belt. The district's bananas (Rasthali variety) and groundnut cultivation on the Bhavani and Cauvery river banks complete its diverse agricultural profile.
