Fresh ginger is a highly-anticipated spice this season
Ginger is a versatile spice, loved around the world for its distinctive flavor and aroma. Originating from Asia and part of the Zingiberaceae family, ginger thrives in tropical climates with short dry seasons and high temperatures, making countries like Vietnam, China, and Japan ideal for its cultivation. In Vietnam, ginger is primarily grown in the southern provinces, where the climate ensures a consistently high-quality harvest.
Known for its peppery and slightly citrusy flavor, fresh ginger owes its pungent taste to essential oils and compounds like gingerols and shogaols. As we move into the colder months, in-season ginger is particularly popular in winter dishes, offering both a bold taste and health benefits. Its warming, spicy profile makes it an essential ingredient in cooking and a traditional remedy for winter ailments.
Fresh Vietnamese Ginger: A Highly Sought-After Commodity
Vietnamese ginger is not just a household staple; it’s also a highly prized export product. The Kỳ Sơn District in Nghệ An Province, known as the “ginger capital” of Vietnam, produces some of the best fresh ginger on the market, thanks to the region’s ideal climate and soil conditions.
This in-season ginger from Vietnam is exported worldwide, often frozen or processed into dry ginger, ginger powder and paste. It is especially valued in colder climates for its digestive benefits, ability to ease nausea, and its role in fighting colds and flu. Fresh Vietnamese ginger is renowned for its rich flavor and superior quality, making it a top choice for B2B buyers looking to source fresh ginger in bulk at competitive prices.
Vietnam Ginger Export During Peak Season
Vietnam’s ginger exports have surged in recent years, driven by the growing global demand for in-season ginger. According to the General Department of Customs, ginger exports reached 5.6 million USD in the first five months of this year, a nearly nine-fold increase compared to the previous year. This increase is due to the rising demand for fresh ginger in international markets like the United States, China, and Japan.
China remains the largest importer of fresh Vietnamese ginger, with imports growing by 437% year-on-year, reaching 10,271 tons. Other major buyers include Bangladesh, India, and Laos. As Vietnam continues to strengthen its position as one of the world’s top spice exporters, fresh ginger from Vietnam remains a key player in global markets, offering premium quality and value for B2B buyers.
