Problems & challenges of existing marketing channel

• No organized market for ginger in most of the growing states.

• Exploitation of commission agents and village merchants in wholesale

and secondary markets

• Absence of effective competitive market for ginger

• Traditional method of drying ginger hinders the quality, so

commission agents toll the growers

• Lack of developed markets and large even scattered form of market

(seasonal).

• Lack of value addition and processing techniques involved.

• Absence of input and other sources of production from government or

co-operatives.

Conclusion• Ginger has a foreign exchange of 30 crore per

annum.

• The losses the grower experiences through traders, middleman and other intermediaries makes very hard to grow

• Value chain - strategic co-operative marketing society

• domestic consumption of ginger is ever increasing in India so efforts are needed to promote a better distribution marketing channel
