From pre-independence times, the Agricultural Produce Market Committee of Sangli extracts turmeric deals. With the tradition of good rates, farmers from Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana along with Maharashtra come to Sangli for the sale of turmeric. According to the quality of turmeric, after getting sold in a lilav tender way, the rate of three to nine thousand rupees is received. Whereas this year, turmeric farmers and traders from Corona got stuck in rate and supply. Whereas, due to the connection of corona worldwide for the last six months, the turmeric market also affected it. Turmeric deals closed in lockdown.

With the hotel and industry closed, demand also decreased. Due to which traders did not come forward to buy turmeric. In the four months from April to July, about six lakh quintal turmeric was sold. This year only two lakh 10 thousand quintals were sold in four months. Its specialty is that out of this, two lakh two thousand quintal turmeric was sold in May. In the remaining three months, only eight thousand quintals were sold.
