Ginger prices vary depending on sales outlets and merchants. Currently, a kilogram is trading between 16,000 and 20,000 ariary at retail. These differences are explained notably by supply conditions. "The price depends on our suppliers. That's what explains the price differences between goods sold at the market," explains Jeanne, a vendor. The volume of purchases also plays a role. Some traders go directly to production areas to stock up in large quantities. According to Benja Rakoto, this practice allows for more favorable rates. Essential oil producers are also among the main bulk buyers of ginger. Their demand thus influences the product's distribution channel. Depending on the sales location, supplier, and volumes purchased, ginger prices can vary significantly. For consumers, the price thus depends on the market and the merchant from whom they purchase.
