The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, through its Research and Development Division and the Jamaica Agricultural Commodities Regulatory Authority, has made significant strides in transforming the ginger industry.
Over the years, the ginger rhizome rot disease has been impacting Jamaica’s ginger industry.
Through FAO’s support in new production technologies, a certification system and a new business model for the sector- The Participatory Value Chain Development - the industry is experiencing a transformation towards sustainable and profitable ginger production.
This methodology employed by the FAO is the first of its kind to be used in the Caribbean and serves as a model for the region.
Let's continue to support our ginger farmers as they increase production for the local and export markets.
