Lakadong Turmeric

Lakadong turmeric is a variety of turmeric (Curcuma longa) that is native to the state of Meghalaya in northeastern India. However, for an extended period, farmers cultivating Lakadong turmeric in the Indian state of Meghalaya faced the issue of unfair compensation, primarily due to the absence of an accurate curcumin measurement method for this high-curcumin variety.

Solution

Agnext Tech collaborated with the Ministry of Ayush to create an innovative curcumin content assessment technology. This advancement empowers Lakadong turmeric farmers to establish the quality of their produce, enabling them to receive fairer compensation and higher prices for their crops.

The collaboration between Agnext Tech and the Ministry of Ayush has significantly transformed the lives of Lakadong turmeric farmers. Previously, these farmers faced the challenge of receiving lower compensation compared to farmers cultivating other turmeric varieties, despite the superior quality of their crop. This disparity often resulted in financial hardships for them. However, through the partnership, the farmers are now able to obtain fairer prices for their high-quality Lakadong turmeric, thereby improving their economic conditions and overall well-being.

Since the initiation of the partnership, Lakadong turmeric farmers have experienced a significant improvement in their livelihoods and living standards, as they are now receiving a premium price for their crop. This positive change has not only benefited the farmers but has also had a ripple effect on the Indian economy. The increased demand for Lakadong turmeric has stimulated job creation in the agricultural sector and has contributed to the growth of the Indian export market, further strengthening the economy as a whole.

Collaboration between Agnext & Ministry of Ayush serves as an inspiring model that can be emulated and adapted in various regions across the globe.
