Ginger & garlic are important commercial crops cultivated throughout the country with major
production in the states of Gujarat, Orissa, Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala,
Haryana, Madhya Pradesh & Uttar Pradesh. Garlic is mainly used as a condiment in food
preparations and is also used as carminative and gastric stimulant in many medicinal
preparations. Processing of ginger is undertaken to dehydrate it and for preparing ginger
candy. Ginger & garlic-based products have wide applications in food processing as well as
many other industries. A proper market survey has to be conducted to find out demand
potential for each industry segment.
