AS there are orders for the production of PyinOoLwin ginger wine, there is demand in the local ginger market.

At present, although the price of ginger is slightly down, there are producers and sellers of ginger wine in PyinOoLwin, so there is demand in the ginger market.

“The price of ginger is falling, and the yield of ginger is still low. Sales depend on the season. The price of ginger will recover around June. The demand will depend on ginger wine. Some produce ginger wine in PyinOoLwin, and they order ginger for wine production,” said a ginger trader in PyinOoLwin Township.

“It’s the dry season in the country. So, sales are good. They sell them on festival days. They make ginger wine all year round. Every year, when ginger is plentiful, they buy ginger and make ginger wine and sell it. The market is not bad. It’s a market that people from all walks of life can buy and drink,” he continued.

At present, because the export of ginger is less, they have to rely on the domestic market. Despite the fall in ginger price, there is only a slight increase in wholesalers’ purchasing price, the farmers said. — Thit Taw/ZN
