What It Is
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a flowering plant whose rhizome (underground stem) is widely used as a spice, flavoring, and medicinal ingredient. It is prized for its unique pungent aroma, spicy taste, and therapeutic value. Global buyers consistently seek ginger with high oil content, strong flavor, and rich pungency.
What Export of It Is
The export of ginger involves harvesting, cleaning, sorting, and processing the rhizomes into different exportable forms—fresh, dried, split, powdered, or oil extract—and then packaging them for shipment to international markets. Ginger remains one of the most in-demand spices worldwide due to its diverse applications across industries.
