Spicy Season and Ginger’s Rise
As the cold weather sets in, ginger becomes the show star. This spicy sensation becomes a hot commodity, with consumption spiking in the frosty season. However, a tighter-than-usual supply chain has spiced up prices, hinting at a robust scenario ahead.
Chilling Trends and Price Pizzazz
Post-Diwali, the winter chill descends, and so does the snowfall in the mountains. This chilly forecast sparks an upswing in sales, a natural companion for cold days. Yet, the arrival of new ginger from Bangalore to Delhi’s wholesale market remains steady. Price has recently seasoned up, witnessing a 15-20% hike, standing at $1,20 or €1,10 per kg. This follows a previous decline, making the market as unpredictable as the weather. Notably, prices had hit an astonishing high of $2,41 or €2,20 earlier, enticing farmers to sell almost their entire crop.
Dynamics In Dry Ginger
There is a scarcity for making dry ginger. Weak arrivals and availability create a drought in the market. Producers have already sold a hefty 90-95 percent due to attractive prices, leaving shelves bare. Kochi witnessed prices skyrocket to a new high of $2,41 or €2,20 per kg, painting a picture of scarcity and demand pressure.
Ginger’s Warming Impact on Dry Ginger
The Kochi market, however, narrates a different story for dry ginger. The arrival of new dry ginger faces minimal pressure, signaling a contrasting side of the coin. Dry Ginger, a sibling of ginger, witnesses a recent price hike by $0,30 to $4,22-$4,52 or €3,85-4,13 per kg. The forecast suggests that Dry Ginger will continue to spice up the market in the days ahead.
The market unfolds as a spicy witness narrative with its twists and turns. The chilly weather brings a fiery demand, yet the spice racks face challenges with a scarcity of ginger for dry preparations. Farmers’ strategic selling at attractive prices has stirred the market dynamics. As we witness this spicy trip, the contrasting whispers from different markets showcase the volatility and unpredictability inherent in the ginger trade. The warming impact on Dry Ginger hints at a flavorful future.
