Value-chain gaps

Money this district loses today

Raw output sold cheap, value added elsewhere — each gap below is an opening for a local business.

Hill spices: raw produce → cleaned, graded & branded packs

Unverified
Raw 85%Processed 15%

Beyond turmeric, the Siang belt's mixed hill spices leave loose and ungraded, melting into anonymous commodity lots. Cleaning, grading, drying, and packing under a single-origin Siang label lifts realisation several times over bulk wholesale. The origin story is exactly the premium that unbranded loose sales forfeit.

Turmeric: raw rhizome → polished powder & curcumin extract

Unverified
Raw 85%Processed 15%

Lower Siang's turmeric (its ODOP) is sold as raw or roughly cured rhizome at mandi prices, exporting the value-add to plains processors. Boiling, drying, polishing, and milling into branded high-curcumin powder, and at scale extracting curcumin for nutraceutical buyers, commands several times the raw-rhizome price per kg. High-curcumin hill turmeric is a defensible premium that loose rhizome sales throw away.

Growth signal

The global curcumin nutraceutical market is growing at a double-digit CAGR.
