Ginger prices dropped dramatically, the commune’s chairman wrote a letter “calling for help” to help farmers
On April 7, the Farmers’ Association of Ky Son district (Nghe An) said that the district still has about 4,500 tons of specialty ginger that has not been sold yet. There is a risk that this amount of ginger will sprout, spoil and affect the quality.
The reason for not being able to sell ginger is that this year’s ginger is a good season, but the price has dropped dramatically.
Accordingly, Ky Son district has nearly 800 hectares of ginger, concentrated in communes such as Na Ngoi, Tay Son, Dooc May, Nam Can, Huoi Tu, Keng Du and Pha Danh. These communes are located in remote areas. The weather is cool and cloudy all year round, which is very suitable for growing ginger and growing well. In 2022, the output of ginger in Ky Son district will reach 5,200 tons.
If every year, the price of ginger reaches from 20,000 VND to 30,000 VND, this year, the price of ginger will decrease to only 5,000 to 6,000 VND / 1 kg.
Officials help people consume ginger
Currently, Ky Son district has about 4,500 tons of unsold ginger.
Faced with the situation that ginger could not be sold, the authorities of Ky Son district and commune leaders focused on finding ways to consume for farmers. After nearly a month of efforts, Ky Son district has now consumed about 700 tons of ginger. Currently, there are still 4,500 tons of unsold ginger.
“If not consumed in time, this amount of ginger will re-germination, then the quality will be reduced. Moreover, the situation of ginger cannot be sold, the price is reduced, people are no longer interested in growing ginger“, said Mr. Phan Van Manh – Chairman of Ky Son District Farmers’ Association.
Ginger in the two border districts of Ky Son and Tuong Duong is very special.
To support the people, the Farmers’ Association of Ky Son district has also issued an open letter calling on the farmers’ associations of the districts, units and businesses in the area to join hands to support and rescue ginger for the people.
In Tuong Duong district (Nghe An), the situation of ginger with a falling price also happened similarly.
In Tam Hop commune (Tuong Duong district, Nghe An province), ginger is mainly grown in the forest by people in two villages, Hui Son and Pha Lom. Up to now, Tam Hop commune still has about 80 tons of unsold ginger.
Recently, district and commune authorities have focused on implementing plans to support ginger consumption to help people. However, the price dropped dramatically and ginger is still difficult to sell.
Ginger is packaged waiting to be consumed.
In the face of a backlog of ginger in large quantities, the leader of Tam Hop commune wrote a letter to ask units, businesses and authorities to support the rescue of ginger to help the people.
Mr. Luong Phi Thanh – Chairman of Tam Hop Commune People’s Committee shared: “I have written a letter to units, businesses, agencies and organizations inside and outside the district to support the consumption of fresh ginger in the area, in order to help people overcome this difficult period.”.
Ky Son ginger has been granted a certificate of geographical indication registration by the National Office of Intellectual Property since 2019. Ky Son ginger has 2 types: dé ginger and buffalo horn ginger. Ginger season will end at the end of April every year.
The stench tormented for many years, unable to sleep, dozens of households signed a collective petition “calling for help”
