Organic ginger can no longer be left off the shelves. Most ginger available in Europe comes from far away: from Peru and China. Eosta is now working, together with two experienced partners, on a new project: growing organic ginger in Central Europe. The project, now in its second year, focuses on the feasibility of ginger cultivation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Fresh ginger tea has firmly established itself in the diets of European consumers, and with good reason: ginger is not only healthy, but also adds a unique, spicy flavour to drinks and dishes. Not only to tea, but also to lemonades, soup and Asian dishes. As ginger is often used freshly cut, the choice of an organic, unsprayed variety is quickly made.
Rural Bosnia faces significant economic challenges. Organic ginger cultivation here can play an important role in raising the incomes of small-scale farmers. This year, organic seed stock has been imported from China for testing in tunnels. In late October, we expect the first harvest of fresh organic "baby ginger."
Together with its partners, Eosta is determined to make this project a success. We form a strong team, where knowledge and energy come together to make this challenging project successful and organic ginger available closer to home.
In the coming years, we will explore how to scale up the project and also start preserving ginger so that we can offer this organic ginger for a longer period of time.

Organic avocado supply from Mexico is building well, with good volumes and availability expected over the coming months. Currently, availability is strongest in the larger calibres [14–18], while smaller calibres are expected to become more available as the season progresses.
Behind our Mexican Organic Raingrown® avocados is Avova, a family business in Michoacán that Eosta has been working with for many years.
With the European blueberry season gradually coming to an end, the first organic volumes from South America are on their way. Peru will take the lead in the coming weeks, followed by supply from our long-standing growers in Argentina.
