Turmeric is generally considered safe for most people as it is consumed in moderate amounts as a spice in food. However, If you're an individual who is taking blood-thinning medication or has a history of kidney or gallbladder problems it is best to limit your intake of turmeric due to its oxalate content. Anything powerful is good in moderation.

The Lakadong Turmeric variety cannot be cultivated elsewhere, as research has shown that the specific climatic condition and soil of the WestJaintia Hills is the most suitable to cultivate Lakadong turmeric with a high curcumin content of 7 per cent.

It is for this very reason that Lakadong Turmeric has a Geographic Indication tag linked to West Jaintia Hills district.

At present, many farmers are not cultivating Lakadong Turmeric as they are unable to get the deserved price for this premium variant. Hence the Lachein variety, though having lower curcumin content, has the highest share in terms of area under cultivation in the West Jaintia Hills district.

There are many hardships faced by farmers cultivating turmeric – right from procuring seeds or rhizomes for Lakadong Turmeric, slicing and drying the turmeric & finding a market to ensure fair returns. It takes 9 months to cultivate turmeric and farmers cultivating turmeric cannot grow any other crop and depend only on turmeric sales for their annual income.
