Turmeric prices fell by Rs 46 to Rs 4,650 per quintal in futures trade today on rising supplies and estimates of a bumper crop.
Subdued demand in the spot market also weakened the trading sentiment.

The April contract lost Rs 38, or 0.81%, to Rs 4,660 per quintal, with an open interest of 18,035 lots.
