After harvesting, the fresh ginger is conveyed to the factory where it is sorted, washed and sliced. When the fresh ginger is sliced, it is then moved into a mechanical dryer where it is dried under controlled temperature of 60oC to reduce the moist content to between 10% and 11%. Where there is sufficient sunlight, the split ginger is spread under the sun until the moisture content of 10% to 11% is achieved. The split dried ginger is then packed in 40Kg bags and stored in the warehouse for subsequent use.
