From the 2017 reports on ginger In the international market, a tonne of ginger generated between $6,000 and $7,000 dollars. In Nigeria however, a tonne stood at $3,500. Ginger has gained a permanent place in many kitchens, thus boosting the demand. For the Nigerian exporters, transport is a challenge. Moreover, the country’s production is not well known
recognized (www.freshplaza.com/170078/OVERVIEW-GLOBAL-GINGER-MARKET). This is attributable to its not conforming with the required standard and certification.
World top exporters of ginger include: China, India, Nigeria, Jamaica and Sierra Leone. Thus ginger is an important Nigerian export crop. The major market destinations are the UK, USA, Japan, Canada, Belgium, Germany and the Middle East.
Nigerian ginger however is only formally exported to China, Chad, Sudan and Ghana while the remaining is sold mainly in the northern states, especially to Sokoto, Borno, Kebbi, Kano and Zamfara states. According to Daily Trust Newspspaper Mar 3 2016 THUS GINGER FROM NIGERIA IS YET TO ENTER THE LUCRATIVE MARKETS LISTED ABOVE.
