The turmeric soap of Koraput will be exported to Guatemala, a country in Central America, by Odisha Rural Development and Marketing Society (ORMAS). "There is a demand for Koraput's turmeric soap in Guatemala. All arrangements have been made to export this herbal soap to the Central American country this year," said Roshan Kumar Kartik, deputy chief executive, ORMAS. District administration, ORMAS, and Mission Shakti are working together to export the soap, he added. "We had sent a small quantity on a trial basis. It has created a market in the country and the commercial export is going to begin soon," said Kartik. Around 1,000 tonnes of turmeric is harvested in Lakshmipur block every year.
