                                       CASHEW NUT


Description: Cashew (Anacardium Occidentale L.) is a tree crop of considerable economic importance to Nigeria and other tropical countries. Apart from being a source of useful products and byproducts for food, medicinal and industrial applications, cashew gives also a useful shade, while ornamental and alley trees are suitable for the control of soil erosion, particularly for the protection of watersheds and dams.

Harvest: Cashew nut setting begins in the middle of dry season, while harvesting takes place mainly in February or March. The entire harvest period occupies about 16 weeks. In the Eastern and Western parts of the country, where quality cashew nuts are grown, nuts are allowed to drop to the ground before they are collected. This practice ensures that only ripe nuts are collected. Nuts normally fall to the ground with their apples attached; the two are normally separated with a twisting action during collection. The remnants of the apple flash adhering to the nuts are removed with a sharp knife. After picking, the nuts are dried in the sun for 2 to 3 days, to reduce their moisture content to about 12 %.Properly dried nuts are packed in jute bags and can be kept for 6 to 10 months, if stored in suitable condition.

Locations: Major cashew growing areas in Nigeria are, by order of importance: Enugu, Abia, Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi and Cross River States in the eastern part of the country; Oyo, Osun, Ondo, Ekiti and Ogun States in the Western part, as well as Kwara, Kogi, Nassarawa, Benue, Taraba, Niger and FCT in the Middle Belt and also Sokoto and Kebbi States in the North West part of the country. The majority of export quality nuts come from the Western and Eastern parts of the country.Specification: According to SGS (quality inspectors), the standard for raw cashew nuts, unshelled, is specified as follows:

i. Nut count 180-200 per kg

ii. Moisture content 8-10% max

iii. Defective nuts 15% max

iv. Float Rate 18% max

v. Admixture 0.25% max

vi. Foreign matter 0.25% max

vii. KoR, or shelling out-turn 48-50 Ibs/bag



RAW CASHEW NUTS PRODUCT PROFILES AND RETURN OF INVESTMENTS (ROI)

Uses: The cashew nut is a popular snack, and its rich flavor means that it is often eaten on its own, lightly salted or sugared. In addition to this, cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL), a by-product of processing cashew, is mostly composed of anacardic acids. These acids have been used effectively against tooth abscesses due to their lethality to bacteria.

Export market: The major buyers of cashew nut from Nigeria are mainly India and Singapore. Smaller percentage goes to Europe.

Export price: The export free on board (fob) price of raw cashew nut varies from about USD 500-600/MT. However,when an exporter adds value to this product by processing it into kernels, the fob price could quadruple that of raw cashew nut.

GINGER

                                                          Ginger

Ginger is well known in many human communities around the world. It is the underground rhizome of a perennial tropical crop called Ginger plant (Zingiberofficinale). Originally, the plant is a native of South Eastern Asia but over centuries has been introduced to various parts of the world like the Caribbean, the Americas and Africa. Presently, the top growers of the crop includes Jamaica, Indonesia, Fiji etc.A mature ginger rhizome is fibrous and has a striated texture. 

The outer skin of the rhizome is brownish in colour while the inner flesh depending on the variety may be red", "yellow or white. Nigeria is one of the top producers of ginger in the world. 

In the Nigerian market ginger is well known and on high demand even though it is quite expensive. Kaduna State stands as the highest producer of the crop while states like Gombe", Bauchi, Benue, Nassarawa among others are major producers of the crop. In the market, ginger is available in various forms, fresh ginger rhizome, powder ginger and dry ginger rhizome.

 GROWING GINGER, For ginger to thrive, the following are required, "Mulched fertile soil. Loam is the most preferred soil type. Ridges should be made for the planting of the crop, A minimum annual rainfall of about 1500mm, An average daily temperature of about 30°C, Viable ginger rhizomes with buds, Good drainage to prevent water logging/flooding.

 CULTIVATION, Ginger is cultivated vegetatively from its rhizomes. The vegetative propagation of ginger involves the following steps.
 Sett preparation: When the fingers of rhizomes to be propagated begin to develop buds, they are cut into smaller pieces called SETT. A sett is about 3cm in length with each sett having at least a bud. The set to be propagated is usually stored until signs of growing are noticed before planting is performed. 
 Planting: Ginger  planted by burying each sett in a hole about 8cm deep with the bud of each sett pointing upwards in the soil. The sett should be spaced 30×30cm apart. Each sett grows into a new ginger plant. Planting should be performed about a month before the rains come.

 PLANTING RATE, 2500kg per hectare, "Fertilizer: Both organic and inorganic fertilizers can be used. Compost manure is preferable. The preferred fertilizer in Nigeria for ginger growing is the N.P.K 15:15:15 which is applied twice, first about twenty days after planting at a rate of 4 bags per hectare. The second application is about 40 days after the first application at the rate of 2 bags per hectare. Urea is used during the second fertilizer application.

 Weed control: Controlling weed growth in the ginger farm can be done manually by hand picking or by using chemicals (herbicides). 
Pest and disease control: Mites, shoot borers and leaf rollers are some major pests that usually attack ginger plant. These pests can be controlled by using pesticides and insecticides. 
Captan: is used to control some diseases that affect ginger plant like leaf spot.

Harvesting: On the average, ginger takes about nine months from the time of planting to mature. The rhizome can be harvested at different times depending on its purpose. If fresh ginger is required, it is harvested about six month after planting. If a matured ginger rhizome is required, it is harvested nine months after planting. Sometimes the rhizomes are left in the ground for nearly two years for propagation to continue. In Nigeria, harvesting begins in October and runs all through to May. Ginger rhizome can be harvested manually by hand or with machines such as the mechanical digger.

 EXPECTED YIELD, 20 tons per hectare, 
Processing: The activities involved in processing ginger depend on the end product required. When the harvested rhizome is washed with boiling water and dried later, the product is called dried ginger and this can be grinded to produce powder ginger or can be used as a full dried ginger rhizome. The rhizome can also be processed as fresh ginger or be peeled.

 USES OF GINGER, It is used as a spice in many local cuisine, Used in bakeries as flavor, a constituent of some local (herbal) medicines, It is used in breweries to produce ginger ale or ginger beer, Ginger plant can be used for landscaping.
