A recent pandemic, COVID-19, also further valued the health benefits in the form of an immunity booster. The USA is the largest consumer of Indian turmeric, imported 22 percent of the total exported value, and followed by Bangladesh (18%), Iran (6%), and UAE (5%) in the last year. Some of the other importing countries are Malaysia, UK, Morocco, Germany and Japan. This opportunity can be utilized further by introducing some new innovative products and recipes. Secondary data used in the present study. Objectives: To study the growth of area, production and productivity of Turmeric in India, To analyse the growth of area, production and productivity of Turmeric in India during pre and post-liberalisation period viz. Pre- Economic liberalization (1950-51 to 1990-91) and Post- Economic liberalization (1991-92 to 2021-22). From the study analysis, Annual growth of area is estimated that -4.03 in 1990-91. The positive AGR value of turmeric showed that 20 in 1961-62. The minimum production of turmeric found that -32 (In ' 000 MT) in the year 1972-73 and the maximum of turmeric production is 51(In ' 000 MT) in 1978-79 period respectively. The mean value of turmeric production analysed with 3.83 during the study. Standard deviation of production valuation showed 19.64 and the CV value is estimated that 512.99. The minimum of turmeric productivity showed 2 (In MT/Hectare) from 1961-62 to 1983-84 and maximum is 4 (In MT/Hectare) in 1989-90 respectively. The mean value of productivity is 2.30. Post-liberalisation period better growth in production of turmeric form 1950 to 2021-22. The productivity of turmeric AGR revealed that -21.62 in 1990-91 and 0 .00 level in 2021-22. Productivity of turmeric showed not good better level during the study periods.
