Thailand's
agricultural sector produces about a thousand tonnes
of Ginger each year .
The plant
grows extensively in the North especially in the mountains.
Thai people, at large, are proficient in producing agriculture
with about 90 % produced by the hill tribes who account
for less than 10% of the population. (This
company ensures that the Hill Tribes are paid a fair
wage for their work)
The ginger grows best in recently cleared areas area
where export quality ginger is produced.
This high quality Ginger requires skillfull preparation
and a high degree of proficiency
by the farmer's responsible gained through generations
of valuable experience. The Ginger is then transported
from the farm to factory where they are cleaned and
packaged
When
Ginger is fully grown it must have a dry flower and
be free from disease. to ensure this they must be carefully
looked after and monitored from the time
they are planted until they are dug up from the ground.
Mature
Ginger grows in long furrows.
Carefully following these furrows and carefully digging
will decrease damage to the root.
Exposing
the Ginger Root makes it easier to remove. It can be
broken into manageable sections that are easy to lift
from the earth.
Mature
Ginger should weigh atleast 3kg.
After
the Ginger is taken from the ground it is placed into
palstic containers to ensure they remain fresh for a
maximum length of time.
It also ensures that the Ginger doesn't diminish in
weight (while transaportation to cool storage)
After
cleaning the ginger with water it is blended with a fungus
protection liquor and then the skin is waxed so the ginger
will not lose weight or begin to rot.
