content is predominant statement of objects and reasonsturmeric is one of the oldest spices and has been used in india since ages turmeric is the only spice in india that can be exploited commercially on a multiple scale apart from its main use as a flavouring agent in food the turmeric is mainly used as flavouring agent, medicine for stomach disorders and food poisoning, ayurvedic component in tooth paste and facial powders and natural dye (colouring agent for the textile industry) to exploit the inherent natural advantages that our country possesses in the production of turmeric, it is imperative that a nodal agency on the lines of coir board, rubber board, etc be created the need is to channelize efforts by bringing latest technology inputs, enhanced value addition and again significant advantages in ensuring greater market access in developed nations and brings in significant export earnings of turmeric  which can be beneficial for the country in general and the farming community in particular the spices board constituted under the spices board act, 1986 which has to look into the matters pertaining to almost fifty-two other spices and related products will not be able to devote significant time and effort to strategically develop the turmeric crop in indiaturmeric is the only spice in india which has witnessed intellectual property infringement by the united states of america in the light of increasing tensions and deadlock at the world trade organisation (wto) meetings, the setting up of a turmeric board will be extremely helpful to speed up the process of attaining a geographical indication (gi) tag for erode turmeric which is under consideration at the wto as well as other region specific turmeric varieties this would be a significant step in increasing the brand value of indian turmeric globallythe creation of the turmeric board is imperative for the following reasons:— (1) for the past four years, turmeric is the second largest exported spice after chillyeven though it is behind chilly currently in terms of quantity exported, the crop is not being able to be marketed effectively for its above mentioned multiple uses apart from being a flavouring agent which almost all other spices are; and(2) the quantity of rubber and silk exported was much lower than turmeric and these two products have a dedicated board to look into the affairsthe bill, therefore, seeks to provide for constitution of a turmeric board for the development of export of turmeric and for the control of turmeric industry including the control of
