<br />
==History==<br />
The market originally operated in the core city area near the Clock Tower in an unorganized manner. Considering the space shortage and traffic congestion, it has been shifted to the new sprawling area spreading over 52 acres along the [[State Highway 173 (Tamil Nadu)|Nasiyanur Road]] in [[Erode]]. The original plan of shifting was to integrate all the four turmeric markets in the city and make it as an Integrated Turmeric Complex.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/turmeric-market-in-erode-soon/article18441090.ece|title=Turmeric market in Erode soon|newspaper=The Hindu|date=15 June 2006|accessdate=9 August 2018}}</ref> However, due to some controversies, the other three markets continue to operate separately.{{citation needed|date=July 2020}}<br />
