Nigeria is a major producer of organic ginger, with production occurring across six states. Kaduna state is the largest producer, accounting for about 50% of total harvest. With a minimum of 2,000 hectares of land cultivated and an expected yield of 17.5 tons per hectare, initial annual organic ginger production could exceed 35,000 tons.
The process for organic certification in Nigeria involves selecting districts and villages for raw material sourcing, forming an internal control system team, expediting contracts with farmers, and applying for certification from a control body. Certification can be obtained immediately only if the land was previously uncertified or involves wild collection; otherwise full conversion takes three years.

2. NIGERIAN GINGER
AND STATE AREAS
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a flowering plant whose rhizome, ginger root or
ginger, is widely used as a spice and a folk medicine.[2] It is
a herbaceous perennial which grows annual pseudostems (false stems made
of the rolled bases of leaves) about one meter tall bearing narrow leaf
blades. The inflorescences bear flowers having pale yellow petals with purple
edges, and arise directly from the rhizome on separate shoots.[3]
Ginger is produced in six states of the federation namely-Kaduna, Nasarawa,
Benue, Niger, Bauchi and Gombe. Kaduna is the largest producer, accounting
for about 50 per cent of Nigeria's total harvest. It is followed by Gombe, and
Bauchi, then Benue, Nasarawa and Niger states.
1. The expected yield is 18-20 tons /ha (2.5 Acres) of fresh ginger
With a projected average yield of 17.5t per hectare and a minimum of 2,000
ha of land, a minimum of 35,000 t of fresh ginger can be set as the initial
production target per year.

5. Critical things TO BE CONSIDERED IN NIGERIAN ORGANIC
CERTIFICATION will be as follows :
Cost of Organic product collection from farmers to collection areas to Container
loading and export.
Storage cost at farmers location and Warehouse rental cost at Port area.
Certification Cost fund ?
Any Country Tax implications ?
Registration is required for the group details will be given on the flow chart.
Shipment Cost from Nigeria to Europe or USA.
Senior Consultant Costing for project report , training and internal Audits.
Funding for farm inputs and packing materials involved from the farm level to the
grading Area.

I DO ALL THIS PPT WORKS IN ORGANIC DUE TO MY EXPERIENCE
AND PASSION INTO THE ORGANIC SUSTAINABLITY WITH RESPECT
TO MOTHER NATURE. PLEASE ANYPERSON WITH DOUBTS DROP
YOUR QUERY FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING OF THE
STANDARDS OR WHAT CAN BE DONE TO IMPROVE MY ORGANIC
AWARNESS TRAIL. I DONT SUPPORT MANIPULATIVE MINDS THAT
WILL AFFECT THE ORGANIC INTERGRITY. GOD BLESS.
