Ginger is on the farmer’s head. Ginger cannot be sold.

Koraput: Ginger is the main crop in the Pattangi area of Koraput district. The climate and soil of the area are very good for ginger cultivation. Farmers do not have the courage to open. Even the basic money is difficult to get out of nowhere. However, over the past two years, over-cultivation in Bangalore and Karnataka has led to a sharp drop in rates, and in all markets, ginger has not been able to reach the ginger market in the region, and is still selling fish at a bargain price. The price of Rs 5 and the best ginger is Rs 12 in the market today, said N Lokeshwar Chowdhury, a trader from Pattangi. According to Tuna Dakua, a farmer from Pattangi, he said he would not be able to cultivate ginger in the past if the government did not make arrangements for ginger when tons of ginger were lying in the warehouse without being sold. Nowadays, ginger farmers are worried about how many years they will be able to cultivate and how much they will be able to cultivate, and how much they will be able to cultivate the loans they have borrowed from various banks and bankers if they do not get the value of the hardships if they are sold now.
