Earlier Report Observations

The ginger market in Guyana expanded consistently from 2018 to 2022, with total volume rising from 27 877 t to 34 048 t. This growth of over 6 000 t was supported primarily by an increase in domestic production, which climbed from 27 959 t to 34 000 t over the same five-year period.

Imports into the market remained relatively low but grew steadily, while export volumes fluctuated significantly, peaking in 2021 before dropping sharply. The net trade balance thus contributed variably to the overall supply available within the country.

After reaching a peak in 2022, the market contracted moderately in 2023, declining to 33 063 t. This reduction coincided with a slight downturn in production output, reflecting the close link between domestic harvest levels and total market volume.
