Nigeria's harvest outlook for ginger, hibiscus and raw cashew nut

The first harvest of ginger new crop has been depleted in domestic commodity markets, and farmers are beginning to harvest more of the remaining crop as anticipated scarcity and price increase have begun. As for hibiscus, a further rise in prices was experienced in the past week, with new prices at about USD 2,600-2,700 EXW per MT; this is believed to be due to a continued rise in demand and lower area cultivated in the last season.
