Northland explores turmeric and ginger cultivation for economic diversification

Northland Inc. is exploring turmeric and ginger cultivation to diversify its primary sector. This move is driven by the growing global market for these spices. The potential market for turmeric is projected to reach US$400 million by 2030. Northland Inc. initiated market studies to assess the feasibility of establishing turmeric and ginger industries. The studies will analyze cultivation viability and market differentiation. They will also explore growing crops in the shoulder season. The goal is to identify crops that can compete nationally and internationally. Draft studies are expected by July and will inform future planning for growers. Successful commercialization could enhance productivity and diversify farming systems.
