05 · Product Identity
What Is Fresh Thai Turmeric?
Fresh Thai Turmeric is the fresh rhizome of Curcuma longa L. Although “turmeric root” is widely understood commercially, turmeric is botanically a rhizome.
For international sourcing, the terms fresh turmeric, fresh turmeric root and fresh turmeric rhizome may refer to the same general fresh commercial product, depending on market terminology.
This page concerns whole fresh turmeric rhizomes from Thailand. It does not represent dried turmeric, turmeric powder, turmeric extract, curcumin products or dietary supplements.

17 · Storage, Handling & Export
Storage, Handling & Export Considerations
Unlike dried turmeric or turmeric powder, fresh turmeric remains a perishable agricultural product. Product condition can change during storage and transport.
Moisture Loss
Excessive moisture loss can contribute to shriveling and reduced visual quality.
Sprouting
Storage conditions can influence sprouting. Buyer tolerance should be considered where longer storage or transit is involved.
Physical Damage
Handling and packing should reduce avoidable damage to the rhizomes.
Temperature Management
Conditions should be selected for the actual product, packaging, transit period and destination; no universal storage guarantee is stated.
Transit Time
Air or sea shipment suitability should be evaluated for the actual destination rather than assumed from another fresh product.
Destination Requirements
Plant quarantine, phytosanitary, pesticide-residue and other import requirements should be verified before shipment confirmation.
