About ginger, raw

cpc code 01657 covers the raw, unprocessed form of ginger, a widely used spice and flavoring agent. Ginger is a rhizome, or underground stem, that is cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. It is an important ingredient in many cuisines, particularly in Asian and Indian cooking, and has a wide range of applications in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.

Production process

Ginger is typically grown from pieces of the rhizome, known as 'seed ginger', which are planted in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. The plants require warm, humid conditions and regular rainfall to thrive. After 8-10 months of growth, the mature ginger rhizomes are harvested by hand or mechanically. They are then cleaned, graded, and prepared for distribution and further processing.

The primary inputs for ginger production include fertile soil, adequate water supply, and suitable climatic conditions. Farmers may also utilize fertilizers, pesticides, and specialized equipment to optimize yields. Additionally, the availability of skilled labor for planting, harvesting, and post-harvest handling is crucial for the industry.
