So if you process ginger into ginger oil in Abuja or Kano for example, traditionally, it is most likely not to scale Nigerian Agricultural...

Chief Executive Officer, Kelvin Emmanuel, in this interview with PREMIUM TIMES highlights reasons why ginger farmers in Nigeria are benefitting less from the $3 billion global ginger market even when Nigeria is the second highest producer of the commodity globally. Most of the world’s ginger are produced in India, Nigeria, China, Indonesia and Nepal, according to World Mapper.

Ginger is one of the healthiest herbs and important spices used for pickles and preservatives. It is available in different forms such as raw ginger, dry ginger, bleached dry ginger, ginger powder, ginger oil, ginger oleoresin, ginger candy and more. The “Global Ginger” Market is expected to reach $4.8 billion by 2027.

PT: Let’s zero it down to ginger production.

Well to be honest with you, for animal feed ginger does not have any specific use. But it does for beverages and confectioneries. For pharmaceuticals, ginger is actually like a formula composition, but for animal feed ginger does not have any role. Ginger doesn’t have any role in standard feed composition because the Standard Organisation of Nigeria and NAFDAC already have a standard formula for feed production for pet feed and for animal feeds .

PT: So recently the FG said they are introducing this Hello tractor, I don’t know if you have heard about it.The question I want to ask is, on the ground, can I call hello tractor to come and do land preparatory for me? That is the question? Because you can come up with all these fancy programmes, do excellent PowerPoint presentations, organise a conference, do a lot of white paper.
