OUR GINGER SOURCES

We verify the production chain of our suppliers, ensuring that they have all the international certifications thus their products are mostly free of: exploited labor, irreversible environmental impact, unfair working conditions.

There are some organizations and cooperatives in China that are working to promote fair trade and sustainable practices in the production of ginger. The Guangxi Jingxiang Agriculture Co-operative, located in Guangxi province, is a group of smallholder farmers who have formed a cooperative to produce organic ginger and other crops using sustainable farming practices.

Asociación de Productores de Jengibre Ecológico (Association of Organic Ginger Producers), located in the Andean region of Ayacucho. This association was formed by smallholder farmers who grow organic ginger using traditional methods and sell their ginger through fair trade channels. By participating in fair trade, the farmers are able to receive a fair price for their ginger and have access to resources and training to improve their production practices.
