[0] GINGER OTHER [1] FIRM [2] 
During this period between the major crops, market prices are drifting higher and higher. In Nigeria there are increased occurrences of shipments rejected for aflatoxins with all non-contaminated stock having been sold out. Area under cultivation is reported to be the same as last year. In India there is more incentive for farmers to grow Ginger this upcoming season, rather than Turmeric, which is the spice that commonly competes for planting space. Harvesting starts in December of the crop which is forecasted to be higher than last year. The Ethiopian government's decision to place Ginger on the commodity exchange to provide a better return to farmers will render this origin uncompetitive in the future.
