India aims for $1 billion turmeric exports by 2030

India just set a big goal: reaching $1 billion in turmeric exports by 2030.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced this while opening the new Turmeric Board headquarters in Nizamabad.
The board's main job? Help Indian turmeric stand out worldwide with better packaging, branding, and marketing.

TL;DR

Board's focus on farmers and research

The Turmeric Board is also about helping farmers earn more and pushing for research to improve crop quality.
The government has set aside ₹200 crore for these efforts, keeping a promise made to Nizamabad's turmeric growers.
Interestingly, setting up the board was a key election issue—BJP's D Arvind won key elections here after promising its launch, showing how much this move matters both on farms and at the polls.
