NT Government
With our Top End humidity and wet weather, an emerging greenhouse ginger trial is delivering promising results as part of a collaboration with the Territory Government and a commercial nursery in Darwin.
The Territory Government is working with industry to establish these opportunities to grow emerging agricultural sectors, by harnessing the Territory’s competitive advantages. These include our humid climate and generous rain, but also a supply chain with the potential to facilitate further investment and jobs.
Mic Jakobi is having much success growing Ginger in tree bags and believes the Territory can establish a disease-free ginger industry, which could lead to premium prices for seed ginger – up to $25kg.
