Jaintia’s the heaven on earth
At these sacred hills of Jaintia’s, the tribal communities conserve the wisdom of Lakadong turmeric and have unique tradition of women led farming traditions reflecting the empowered women.
Due to its natural farming methods complimented by microclimatic conditions complimented by rich acidic soil, yearly rain cover of monsoons at the high altitude made it unique geography which cannot be replicated anywhere. No wonder, the Lakadong enjoys the unique GI Tag for this turmeric variety which scientists across the world have recognized as world’s most extraordinary turmeric with unmatched curcumin percentage – the highest in any turmeric variety on the planet.
