The price of ginger varies depending on the point of sale and the merchant. Currently, a kilogram is trading between 16,000 and 20,000 ariary at the retail level.
These discrepancies are mainly due to supply conditions. “The price depends on our suppliers. This explains the differences in rates between goods sold at the market,” explains Jeanne, a vendor.
The volume of purchases also plays a role. Some merchants go directly to production areas to source in large quantities. According to Benja Rakoto, this practice allows for more advantageous rates.
Essential oil producers are also among the main wholesale buyers of ginger. Their demand thus influences the product’s marketing circuit.
Depending on the place of sale, the supplier, and the volumes purchased, the price of ginger can therefore vary significantly. For consumers, the rate thus depends on the market and the merchant from whom they source their supplies.
