The Ministry of Trade and Industry has urged ginger farmers to boost production to meet growing market demand.
The call was made during a dissemination workshop on roots and tuber crops, aimed at promoting import substitution to help grow the economy.
Speaking to MIJ Online, Vitumbiko Mumba , Minister of Trade and Industry said current ginger production in the country falls far below the monthly market requirement of 500 tones.
Meanwhile, Jacob Hasen Shearer from the Embassy of Ireland described the engagement as vital, saying it plays a key role in driving economic transformation.
