Please give data for ginger production,consumption pattern in india & world?
Answer:
In 2005, China continued to lead the world in ginger production with a global share of almost 25% followed by India, Nepal and Indonesia.In the 1980s, ginger world production was estimated at 100,000 t, but because of the several forms in which it is traded and the fact that a high proportion is consumed in the countries where it is grown or is used to provide seeds for the next crop, it is difficult to get accurate figures21. Other sources projected production to grow from 300,000 t in 1980, to 500,000 t in 1990, to 600,000tin 1998 38 . India, China, Indonesia, Nigeria, the Philippines and Thailand are currently the main producers. India alone produced 232,510 t in 1996-97 on 70,910 hectares, and exported 28,321 t in 1997-9828. However, Indian exports decreased to 6,580 t in 2000-2001, and 8,000 t in 2001-20021. The International Trade Centre 23 data show that China and Thailand were the major exporting countries in 1998-2000. China seems to be the preferred provider for Korea, while Pakistan buys most of its ginger from India. Indonesia also provides ginger to Malaysia, and Hong Kong before it became part the People's Republic of China. Brazil is the third exporter of dried ginger. The three leading exporting countries in 2000 were China, Thailand, and Brazil. 23
World production of ginger oil, mainly from India and China, was estimated at 30t in 199838 , and 100-200 t in 200042, with the major importing countries being United States, Europe and Japan. Oleoresin production in the 1980s was estimated at 150 t.38 Most of the oleoresin is produced by the consuming countries, European Union and the United States. In addition, India produces and exports approximately 50 to 100 t annually.42
Globally, ginger represents 15-16% of the tonnage of spices imported from 1996 to 2000 (Table 1). In the US, ginger has risen to be among the highest 12 spices consumed, replacing fennel seeds. 12

It is difficult to compare import data because they usually do not distinguish fresh from dried ginger. For instance, Japan is the number one importer of ginger, with 104,379 t in 2000, and no re-export.23 But Japanese traditionally consume preserve ginger made from a mild fresh rhizome.21 Therefore, the Japanese import data may be inflated by the weight of fresh ginger, in addition to the weight of dried ginger, and thus may not be comparable to other nations. Other major importing countries are: US (19,035 t), UK (10,337 t), Saudi Arabia (8,248 t), Singapore (import 7,566 t, re-export 2,989 t), Malaysia (import 7,652 t, re-export 1,334 t), Korea (6,805 t), the Netherlands (import 6,981 t, re-export 2,858 t), Canada (4,680 t), Germany, and France (Table 2). Both the Netherlands and Singapore serve as importing countries and re-export to neighboring countries (Netherlands), and other world countries (Singapore).

China and Thailand are the major ginger sources for most importing countries (Table 3). Brazil and Nigeria provide ginger to the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and the Netherlands. India's exports dropped from 28,268 t in 1997-98 to 6,500 t in 2000-01.1 Within the last decade China has become a major competitor overtaking some traditional exporting countries. In 1998, for the U.S. alone, ginger imports from China were 2,361 t, which rose to 12,459 t in 2002.39 Saudi Arabia imported most of its ginger from Indonesia in 1996-1999, but the same amount was imported from China in 2000.
do you ask question just for the sake of asking? if I say that India produces 40 million tonnes of ginger and blah blah like that... what is the use of this data to you... stop asking stupid questions...
