Export-grade dried ginger & ginger powder unit

Lunglei sits in one of NE India's largest ginger belts, and its ginger is fragrant and low-fibre — well suited to dried and powdered products. Fresh prices swing violently within a season, so a unit that dries and mills the crop converts a volatile raw commodity into shelf-stable, year-round revenue. This builds on the district's banana, passion fruit & ginger belt and uses its position as a southern Mizoram trade centre to aggregate from surrounding growers. There is no dedicated ginger gap listed, so the play stands on the atom rather than forcing the passion-fruit or banana gaps. The honest constraints are export-grade discipline: moisture spec is non-negotiable and microbial load control is make-or-break — one bad batch can lose Spice Board registration. A hot-air dryer, hammer mill and FSSAI plus Spice Board certification are the core build. Buyers: Spice Board-linked exporters, Gulf importers, and Indian metro D2C masala brands wanting single-origin NE ginger. Start with dried slices (simpler spec) for export, add powder once buyer relationships are steady.
