India aims to boost turmeric exports to ₹5,000 crore by 2030, up from the current ₹1,876 crore. The focus is on high-curcumin varieties like Lakadong and Rajapuri. Challenges include pesticide residues and heavy metals, requiring scientific solutions. Initiatives include promoting "Golden Milk" and integrating turmeric cultivation with MGNREGA to address labor shortages and improve farmer profitability.
