Sangli is known for years as one of the largest trading centers
of Turmeric in the world. This is because there are underground
turmeric warehouses popularly known as Pevs, on the banks of
river Krishna near Sangli. Turmeric can be stored here for about
3 years without fear of insects or pests. Such type of natural
warehouses for storing turmeric are there only in Sangli. Even
during the monsoon when Krishna river is flooded there is no
drop of water in these Pevs. This is the main reason why Sangli
developed into a major Turmeric Centre.Sangli also came up as
major Sugar & Jiggery Centre in India during the regime of Late
Dr. Vasantdada Patil, the former chief minister of Maharashtra.
