Project Report on Ginger & Garlic Paste

Project Report on Ginger & Garlic Paste

A  genus of rhizomatous herbs distributed in the tropics  of the  old  world,  chiefly  in  India,  East  Asia  and  Malaysia.  Fourteen,  species are reported to occur in  India  Z-officinale, which  is  the main source of ginger, is cultivated  on  a  large scale in India.  Bangladesh, Taiwan, Jamaica, Nigeria and Sieria, Leone, from which it is exported to other countries the world and ginger  is cultivated also for internal consumption in Sri  Lanka (Ceylon) and several East Asiatic countries and the crop has been introduced into Queens hand in Australia mainly for pickling. In  Hawaii, ginger is marketed as fresh rhizomes  which  are also shipped to the mainland market.  Two types of edible  ginger are  grown: the large type known locally as "Chinese" ginger  and the small type known as "Japanese" ginger.  Only the former  type is grown to any great extent.  Most of the plantings are in small area.    Because  of the prevalence of certain  diseases  on  the island  of Oahu, the ginger-growing areas seem to be shifting  to the  island  of Hawaii, especially in the vicinity of  Hilo  from where most, if not all, of the ginger for the mainland market  is exproted.  The total production for 1960 for the entire State  as officially reported was 905,000 pounds from a total of 32  acres.  Of this production, 313,000 pounds (34.6 percent) were shipped to the  Mainland  by steamer without refrigeration.   The  wholesale value  of  the  shipment was $61,588.00.  It  is  estimated  that shipment from Hawaii represents only about 7 percent of the total amount  imported  into the mainland United States  annually,  the remainder  being  supplied by foreign  countries.   Some  foreign sources  of  ginger are: British Western Pacific  Islands,  Cuba, Hong  Kong, and Taiwan (Formosa).  It is reported  that  Hawaiian ginger, because of its higher quality, commands a better price on the mainland market than foreign importations.
