- challenges:
- The price of Ginger has gone up to exceptional levels due to external factors (e.g. flooding in India) making it difficult for farmers to sell for exports, and this has set back certain project components; the real constraint here is the volatility of the price, and the difficulty to plan for it.
- success:
- Positive factor in itself is that entrepreneurs in Shan State are confident enough to invest substantially in such a plant.
- context:
- The Outputs of the VZF-OSH project in Myanmar include specifically on the Ginger Value Chain:
• 1.1. Increased capacity of ginger farmers and traders to effectively identify and control hazards at farms and trading hubs is achieved in targeted townships.
• 1.2. Increased knowledge on OSH hazards and OSH management strategies is made available to factory owners and workers in targeted ginger processing, and garment and textile companies.
- description:
- The volatility of the prices for agricultural products makes it difficult to properly plan project components. For example, one group of ginger entrepreneurs in South Shan State build a complete cleaning and packaging plant for ginger but it is now unused as the price of ginger is much too high and international buyers are buying ginger in other countries.
