Punjab Farmers Expand Turmeric Cultivation and Processing to Boost Farm Income

Yadwinder, after a stalled teaching career, developed Majha Haldi into a diversified agri-business by processing and marketing turmeric and other products directly, aiming to maximize profits and reduce reliance on middlemen.
