Finally the Ginger
season for the year 2016/2017 is open. The farmers, the buyer, the sellers, the
middle men, the hustlers, the Indians, the foreigners all them, even you (reading) have
an eye on how the market will swing.
The last season
2015/2016 was a very interesting season as Ginger worth $33.1million was
exported from Nigeria in all three forms. Ginger could exported fresh, dried
split or powdered. This three form command different prices both locally and
internationally. The powdered ginger commands the highest price followed by
dried split and fresh.
However, they
greatest demand for Ginger is dried split ginger, but it all depends on what
the buyer needs. So the market for this season opens up at N520,000 to N550,000
per ton depending on the grade. The
international price for Ginger at the moment hover around $2,250 to $2500 a ton
depending on the port of delivery and the terms of trade. We must also understand
that there is high volatility when it comes to Ginger price.
So how do you
position to make profit from this season that has just opened?
1. Earn in dollars: Exploit
the exchange rate; the international price for ginger is from $2,250 to $2,500 a
ton, meaning that you are making over 100% gross profit on each ton. As the
season opens an entrepreneur can take advantage of the
low price to export.
2. Storage: Ginger price would always shoot high. So you
can buy at a lower price, store and sell high when prices appericate.
3. Get into the value chain:
Buy the fresh ginger, process and sell.
4. Prepare for planting now
against next planting season: The best time to get ginger rhizomes for
planting next year is now because it is cheap, by next planting season
prices would have double if not triple ( planting of Ginger is not restricted
to the north only, we have planted in
the west and south)
I want to do a
webinar and we would look at the following topic
1. How to make money from the Ginger season even when have not invested
much (or nothing)
2. Understanding how the details in the ginger value chain and how to profit
from it .
So if you are
interested please drop you email and we would communicate the date to you. Thank
you for your time.
