Ginger growers on Queensland's Sunshine Coast are considering leaving the industry after losing up to 60 per cent of their crops to fungus.
About 80 per cent of Australia's ginger is grown in Queensland.
Local ginger grower and the president of the Australian Ginger Growers Association, Louie Davison, says the fungus pythium soft rot has affected between 50 and 60 per cent of the region's crops.
Mr Davison says he is thinking about not planting ginger next year.
"Not very good ... we don't know where to turn," he said.
We've got 200 acres of ground here that we're looking at walking away from, so we've lost 80 per cent," he said.
"We planted 110 acres and we'll probably harvest 20."

Happy Sunday.
Think that might be a Noisy miner. The Indian myna has a black head and mostly dark brown body.
