 As part of efforts to boost the nation's economy through agricultural production, the National Ginger Association of Nigeria NGAN has called on the government at all levels to diversify Nigeria's economy through large ginger production to meet the international standard market. Let's say the aim is for the Nigerian government to be the driver of the economy in ginger production as well as large exporters of the product in the world market. The closely-corresponded Habila de Rufay's report is presented from our studio. In recent times, ginger is not only popular but a very high-demand crop in agricultural sectors. Globally, Nigerian ginger is the most preferred in the world market as it is known for being potent and high in olurescene. Hence, they need to sustain the quality for economic development. The National President of the Association, NUHU Daoudu, stated this during the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the Ginger Association of Nigeria and traders of Africa in Cardinal, saying the demand for Nigerian ginger is about twice what is currently being produced, noting that there is a lot of room for increased production, particularly for exports. NUHU called on ginger farmers in the country to harness the great potential inherent in the production of the commodity. I'm absolutely satisfied because the two of us are going to work in synergy for the purpose of achieving our common interests and our common goals, and secondly, for the purpose of ensuring that the peasant farmer who has not been getting a good pay for his value in the ginger value chain will begin to harness it and also enjoy it. In their separate comments, Founder, Traders of Africa, Mrs. Uju Uzo Ojinaka, the Cardinal State Chairman, Ginger Farmers Association of Nigeria, Joseph Dambui, and the keynote speaker from the Department of Soil Science of Amadu Bello University, Zarya, Professor Betruz Dawit Taffa spoke of the advantages of better collaboration between farmers within Africa and a deliberate plan by governments to take advantage of the potential in ginger farming. It's an ongoing partnership and we're starting this season and the season actually starts in two weeks. The season starts in November and the idea is to ensure that we're able to overtake all their products, you know, that they're able to grow this season. We believe that if we unite ourselves together, remove every kind of pride and arrogance except the leadership of squadron leader Audu, who will move forward? What about the Kauchigoba? So to me, we are progressing. If we are okay, ginger is okay. Cardinal State is also progressing. The diversification of our sources of income as a country. We all know that the petrol prices as well as the volume that Nigeria's sporting is reducing. So if we diversify in agriculture, especially on crops that have high commercial value as ginger, it's going to be a plus and a good source of income and a hard currency for Nigeria as a country.
