“…This suggests that farmers engaged in ginger production were older people than younger ones. Similar to our result in Nepal, Ezra et al (2017) also found that farmers below 50 years are actively engaged in ginger production in Nigeria. Both findings from Nepal and Nigeria indicated less interest in ginger production among young generation (less than 30).…”

“…Years of schooling, family size and farming experience showed a positive but not significant relationship with ginger production at 0.01 level of significance. Similar result was observed by Makarau et al 2013 andEzra et al 2017. Age of the respondents showed a negative correlation with ginger production indicating that efficiency of time and effort reduced with aging.…”

Ginger is a high value crop belongs to family Zingiberaceae. Ginger has multiple health benefits and can be easily grown in mid-hill regions of Nepal. The major challenge is the limited availability of information on factors affecting ginger yield. The objective of this project was to analyze different factors influencing ginger production. The study was conducted in Surkhet district of Nepal in 2018. A total of 100 farmers (60 and 40 from Barahtal and Chingad rural municipalities respectively) were selected using simple random sampling technique. Primary data were collected using interview schedule, focus group discussion and key informant interview. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and Microsoft Excel. The descriptive statistics, chi-square test and correlation were used to derive conclusion. The average age and land under ginger cultivation were 41 years and 0.093 hectare respectively. Average ginger production in the study area was 980 kg per ropani. There was a strong positive relationship between farm size and ginger production. Training, subsidy and labor crisis had positive association with ginger production. However, family size and years of schooling were not significant but positively correlated. It is recommended that concerned authorities should give emphasis on farmer training, extension services, and subsidy to enhance ginger production. Int. J. Appl. Sci. Biotechnol. Vol 7(2): 269-273

“…Available research related to relatively similar ginger production systems have been conducted in India (Rahman et al, 2009;Muenster, 2015), Ethiopia (Geta andKific, 2011), Nepal (Micro-Enterprise Development Program, 2013) and Nigeria (Nandi et al, 2011;Makarau et al 2013;Ezra et al, 2017), where ginger is an important commercial crop. Singh and Singh Dhillon (2015) analyzed economic returns of ginger crops in Sirmour distrct of Himachal Pradesh, India, and found that income measured were found to be positive.…”

“…Ginger is mainly constrained by input such as supply of fertilizer and varieties which is both insufficient and low quality, lack of source of credit, high cost of labor and high cost of transportation for marketing (Geta and Kifle, 2011;Singh and Singh Dhillon, 2015;Ezra et al, 2017).…”

Mysterious ginger: Enclaves of a boom crop in Thailand

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a perennial herb revered as one of the most popular and valued spices of the world. Ginger is the main cash crop supporting the livelihood and improving the economic level of many ginger growers of India, Indonesia, Nigeria and Bangladesh. Although Thailand was the fifth highest ginger producing country in the world, documentation and general recorded information on ginger cultivation, both for domestic production and export value trade, is very limited. The ginger production system is also confounding. Moreover, ginger in Thailand has received little attention from researchers. There is no research or publications about Thai production of ginger and ginger farmers in both Thai and English publications. This paper is an initial attempt to establish a ginger story in Thailand by using the Plaba sub-district in Loei province as a case study to document this overlooked story and bring attention from researchers or government officials who are interested in the possibility of identifying new agriculture possibilities and recognize potential crops for further development to support rural livelihoods.

“…Ginger is an aromatic herb renowned worldwide as a spice and a medicinal plant (Auta et al, 2011). It is a Polynesian perennial herbal plant in tropical Asia (Kambaska and Santilata, 2009) and the origin is believed to be South East Asia (Ravindran and Babu, 2005;Nmadu and Marcus, 2013). Ginger is well adapted to tropical and sub-tropical areas and predominantly grown in China, India and other South Asian countries, Africa, United States, Mexico and West Indies (Hasan et al, 2012;Ajav and Ogunlade, 2014).…”
