Abstract:
The present study analyzed the position, trend and export performance of ginger in India using temporal data. Statistical techniques like mean, standard deviation, mean, regression and CAGR was employed for analysis. The study revealed that ginger hold 3rd position among the major spices contributed 17.79 percent of the total annual average spices production in India. But the share of quantity and value of export revealed only 2.31 percent and 1.32 percent respectively of total spices export. Over the last eleven years (from 2009 to 2019) the average production of ginger in India was 914.31 thousand metric tons approximately one third of total world production of ginger with highest growth rate (CAGR) compare to major producing countries in the world. The major five countries for ginger export were USA, Morocco, Spain, Bangladesh and UK together constituted around 52 percent of total value of export. The growth rate (CAGR) of area, production and productivity of ginger worked out to be 4.85 percent, 9.17 percent and 4.11 percent respectively over the 16 years (2001-02 to 2016-17). But national average level of productivity revealed very low (4.49 ton/ha). Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Assam and West Bengal were the major contributors of ginger production. But in terms of productivity, states like Gujarat (22.08 t/ha), Kerala (19.68 t/ha) and Madhya Pradesh (16.27 t/ha) were the leading states. Enhancement of productivity through use of good variety with scientific management and area expansion might be given importance for increase production and export potential of ginger.
Highlights
- Although around 18 percent of total spices production coming from ginger but the share of export value of ginger among all spices was only 1.32 percent.
- India producing around one third of global ginger production with highest CAGR (15.64).
- In India, the growth rate (CAGR) of ginger production was more or less double than area and productivity over last sixteen years.
