INTRODUCTION
A genus of rhizomatous herbs distributed in the tropics of the old world, chiefly in India, East Asia and Malaysia. Fourteen, species are reported to occur in India Z-official, which is the main source of ginger, is cultivated on a large scale in India. Bangladesh, Taiwan, Jamaica, Nigeria and Sieria, Leone, from which it is exported to other countries the world and ginger is cultivated also for internal consumption in Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and several East Asiatic countries and the crop has been introduced into Queens hand in Australia mainly for pickling.
Ginger is mentioned in the early literature of China and India as a spice. Thus it is one of the earliest of known spices. In the 16th century, the Spaniards introduced it into the West Indies and Mexico. The ginger of commerce is prepared from the underground stem or rhizome of Zingiber officinale Rescue. It is also used for medicinal purposes. Major ginger-producing areas of the world are India, Malaya, China, West Africa, and the West Indies.
In Hawaii, ginger is marketed as fresh rhizomes which are also shipped to the mainland market. Two types of edible ginger are grown: the large type known locally as "Chinese" ginger and the small type known as "Japanese" ginger. Only the former type is grown to any great extent. Most of the plantings are in small areas. Because of the prevalence of certain diseases on the island of Oahu, the ginger-growing areas seem to be shifting to the island of Hawaii, especially in the vicinity of Hilo from where most, if not all, of the ginger for the mainland market is exported. The total production for 1960 for the entire State as officially reported was 9,05,000 pounds from a total of 32 acres. Of this production 3,13,000 pounds (34.6 percent) were shipped to the Mainland by steamer without refrigeration. The wholesale value of the shipment was $61,588.00. It is estimated that shipment from Hawaii represents only about 7 percent of the total amount imported into the mainland United States annually, the remainder being supplied by foreign countries. Some foreign sources of ginger are: British Western Pacific Islands, Cuba, Hong Kong, and Taiwan (Formosa). It is reported that Hawaiian ginger, because of its higher quality, commands a better price on the mainland market than foreign importations.
In Hawaii, ginger is normally harvested from January to about April. At this time of the year, however, the prices are at the minimum because of the large imports by the United States from foreign sources. In order to obtain higher prices, some farmers have delayed harvesting until the fall and later, but this has not been satisfactory because of the reduced quality of the rhizomes due to epidermal peeling, disease and insect damage, sprouting and disturbance to the new growth which is left in the ground to complete its growth cycle. Thus it appears that the highest quality rhizomes are those that are harvested immediately after they are mature i.e., when the above-ground portions of the plants are dead. These rhizomes are plump and free from decay, insect damage, sprouting and surface discoloration.
