Abstract. Acharya N, Chaurasia J, Kandel P. 2023. Value-chain analysis of the ginger sub-sector in Salyan District, Nepal. Asian J Agric 7: 76-82. A Value Chain (VC) strategy of market-driven firms is required to solve the present shortcomings in ginger's marketing channel and the ensuing value addition throughout the channel. The study examines ginger's producer share, pricing spread, marketing margin, and value-chain diagram. Furthermore, 50 producer families from each of Malneta of Sharada Municipality and Chande of Siddhakumakh Rural Municipality in Salyan District, Karnali Province, Nepal were selected for the household survey using purposive random sample based on the degree of production and producers' cultivation of ginger in more than one ropani, i.e., total 100 households, five collectors, five wholesalers, and five retailers were surveyed for analysis. The total ginger productivity at the research location was 15.43 Mt/ha. Sutho (dried ginger) earned an average of 25.81% of the earnings. Furthermore, 100% of producers said they were satisfied with the low price but higher than the farms' gate price by NPR 24. There was an NPR disparity of NPR 8 in retail marketing costs between retailers and end users, and NRs gap of NPR6 in marketing costs between wholesaler and retailer. While the difference in marketing costs between the collector and the distributor was, NPR 6. Retailers and consumers had the largest net margin (20%), which collectors and wholesalers followed. Consumer pricing was (8.3%), wholesalers and retailers (6.66%) and the producer share was calculated to be just 40%.

“…The worldwide use of this ancient herb as a spice and within the natural medicine market has made it one of the most relevant in terms of economic trade, being cultivated in more than 35 countries around the world. In 2019, the global production of ginger was over 4000 tons with India being the top producing country, accounting for 43.81% of the total global production and Nigeria the second, accounting for 16.94% [17]. This trade potential drove producers to establish ginger cultivation in Costa Rica to supply the local market and to export to Europe.…”

UPLC-HRMS Polyphenolic Characterization, Contents and Antioxidant Activity of Zingiber officinale Roscoe rhizomes from Costa Rica

et al. 2022

Zingiber officinale Roscoe rhizomes have been associated with multiple health benefits, such as blocking blood clotting, digestive and antinausea effects and aid in respiratory conditions. These effects have been linked with their polyphenolic main metabolites, gingerols and shogaols. Herewith, we report a detailed study on the polyphenolic profile and in the contents of main gingerols and shogaol as well as the antioxidant activity of extracts from Z. officinale rhizomes (n = 17) produced in Costa Rica. Using UPLC-QTOF-ESI MS, a total of 34 polyphenols were identified, grouped in 12 types of structures. In addition, our findings on the main metabolites using UPLC-DAD show all rhizomes complying with total gingerols (TG) content established by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). At an individual level, samples SR-1 and NR-4 show the higher contents and also exhibit the highest Folin–Ciocalteu (FC) reducing capacity results as well as the best DPPH antioxidant values. In addition, Pearson correlation analysis results showed positive correlation (p < 0.05) between TG and 6-gingerol with FC results and negative correlation (p < 0.05) between 6-gingerol, TG and FC with DPPH results. In turn, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) indicated variability in the composition associated with their region of origin and confirmed that NR-3, NR-4, and especially SR-1 stand out significatively, showing the highest PC1 because of its particularly high TG, 6-gingerol and antioxidant activities. Finally, results from controlled experimental plots of Z. officinale rhizomes (n = 6) indicated influence on metabolites content with higher values for a shorter harvest time and high tunnel cultivation. Therefore, our findings indicate the value of Z. officinale in the elaboration of products with potential benefits for health, delivering extracts with higher levels of gingerols than previous reports and exhibiting high antioxidant activity.
