Frequently Asked Questions
Kandhamal Haladi is a GI-tagged turmeric variety grown exclusively in the tribal highlands of Kandhamal district, Odisha. Unlike commercial turmeric, it is forest-intercropped, chemical-free, and cultivated by Kondh tribal communities using centuries-old methods. This results in a distinctly stronger aroma, higher essential oil content (5–6%), and superior oleoresin yield (10–11%).
