It is no longer new that the Revenue from oil has dwindle, and this the time for agriculture to take the front seat, as matter of fact not just agriculture but agricultural value chain is the way to go. The present reality leaves us with no other option than the diversification of the Nigerian economy, it is in the light of this present economic situation and the need to create other source of income that investing in ginger would be a nice alternative.

In the last three years ginger has gone to be the most price agro commodity after coca but in 2015 Ginger was more expensive than cocoa making it the most price agro commodity in the country, in the international market ginger went from $1,500 per ton in 2011 to $5,000 per ton in 2015.
There are a lot of opportunities in the ginger value chain. From planting to processing, exporting, logistics, extracting and a whole lot of activities. Have you ever consider investing in planting Ginger, it is hidden gold mine that most people haven’t consider except people that are from ginger producing areas
Planting Ginger is a serious work as ginger take 8-9months to be ready for harvest, some people even leave the plant for sixteen months. But you can outsource the planting ( paying the locals to plant for you) if the best agronomy practice are followed ginger yields 16ton to 20tons per hectare.
Locally In 2015 a ton of dried split ginger went as high as N550,000 per ton. Let consider planting and processing of dried split ginger on a hectare
Cost of one hectare(leasing) N100,000
rhizomes = N280,000
Land preparation= N100,000
Labour for planting N150,000
Fertilizer/manure/chemical N100,000
Labour harvesting and packaging N80,000
Total cost of production N810,000

If the farmer lost 40% to 50% of the tons he harvested dues to processing he has on the average 8ton to 10tons to sell, meaning if he selling at N450,000 per ton he would have made net profit of N3,600,000 to N4,500,000 making over 300% returns on investment. This would hold true if the price of ginger don’t go south.
To invest in business this you must have a business plan, the must be soil analysis and of course the buyer. The author is experience in this and can assist.

meeting specification and standard is not a problem, however, when you product is ready give me 0810281635i6

To farm a hectare of ginger is around 800,000 naira. It will be a good idea if this thread provides a direction on how one can profit from adding value during harvest before selling.

Btw, with the current exchange rate, ginger export is a real money spinner

At op, do you offer training for ginger farming? I need to get information on how to cultivate ginger commercially.

And also, I believe their are other cost effective ways to reduce cost of production I guess.. Kindly answer at op

i think u shud have posted d farming technique for high yield,how n wher to source d seed or rhizome

At inibong, do you currently have a farm? I only want to learn the ropes of this ginger farming from a REAL PRACTICING FARMER that has a farm site where I can see and spend weeks to get the information that I need. Thank you.

For the rhizones, what's the amount of kg one needs to use in planting for a hectare?

I also heard that using a sloppy land reduces cost.

What are your plans for irrigating the farm when set up?

I need these questions really answered.. Thanks

Yes 100k/hectare transmit to 35k per acre. Thats still high. Is it negotiable?

Yes i have a farm and i have been planting ginger . I have call you and answered your question .

Uploading pictures of your farm and ginger during it's different stages of growth will go a long way in
convincing people. A little adjustment of your marketing strategy will help too; give out free info on the basics of ginger farming , and how to control pests that attack. That's how the bosses in agric section do it (world1, jethro2, organicfoods, hotmas etc.) and it makes people trust and patronize them.
