Ginger

Ginger is a tropical root known for its strong, warm flavor and health benefits. The rhizomes have a light brown skin with pale yellow flesh inside. Widely used in cooking, teas, drinks, and traditional medicine, ginger helps with digestion, reduces inflammation, and supports overall wellness.

- Availability

Ginger can be harvested year-round in tropical and subtropical regions, with peak production during the warm and rainy seasons.

- Storage Guidelines

Transport & Storage: Keep ginger in a dry, ventilated area at 12–15˚C to maintain freshness and prevent mold or sprouting.

In Store: Display in cool, dry sections to preserve flavor, texture, and shelf life.

- Planting and Harvest

At the farm

Ginger grows best in warm, humid climates with fertile, well-drained soil. It is propagated from rhizome segments and takes around 8–10 months to mature.

Harvesting is done carefully by hand to avoid bruising the rhizomes.

After harvest, ginger is cleaned, sorted by size and quality, then packed in cartons or sacks, usually 10–20 kg, ready for distribution and sale.
