Kaduna's crop, the world's spice rack
Nigerian ginger production concentrates in Kaduna State, harvested roughly October to December and sun-dried through the dry season into the split form international spice buyers want. Because supply is so geographically concentrated, shocks travel fast: the 2023 fungal blight that swept Kaduna's ginger belt cut output severely and sent prices to records, and the market has been repricing recovery ever since.
Dried split ginger trades at a premium to fresh rhizome — drying concentrates value and makes the crop exportable. The exchange price here is for the dried split grade, the form that matters for export mathematics.

Why did ginger prices in Nigeria spike?
A severe fungal blight hit Kaduna State's ginger belt in 2023, cutting output sharply. With production so concentrated in one region, the shock moved the entire market — a reminder of how supply-concentrated the crop is.
Fresh vs dried ginger price — what is the difference?
