Are supermarkets charging consumers too much for fresh Australian ginger?
`If you buy ginger from a major supermarket, you could be paying four times the price the farmer receives at the central markets, and the Australian Ginger Growers Association wants to know why.
Demand for ginger spiked during the height of the pandemic and combined with a poor growing season, there was a shortage of fresh ginger worldwide over the past 12 months.
In February, fresh ginger sold for around $55-$60 a kilogram in most Australian supermarkets, with at least one customer telling ABC Rural she forked out a staggering $71.99/kg in Victoria.
