Ginger prices have been quoted at around 14 yuan ($2.26) per kg, almost the same as pork prices. Compared with the same period last year, ginger prices have doubled. Analysts have linked the price rise to falling production, as farmers have reduced plantations because of a sluggish market in recent years. The price movement shows that the fragmented agricultural sector needs reform, the analysts say.
