In Hawaii, ginger is marketed as fresh rhizomes which are also shipped to the mainland market. Two types of edible ginger are grown: the large type known locally as "Chinese" ginger and the small type known as "Japanese" ginger. Only the former type is grown to any great extent. Most of the plantings are in small area. Because of the prevalence of certain diseases on the island of Oahu, the ginger-growing areas seem to be shifting to the island of Hawaii, especially in the vicinity of Hilo from where most, if not all, of the ginger for the mainland market is exported. Some foreign sources of ginger are: British Western Pacific Islands, Cuba, Hong Kong, and Taiwan (Formosa). It is reported that Hawaiian ginger, because of its higher quality, commands a better price on the mainland market than foreign importations.
