Update on ginger! First Chinese Fairtrade ginger expected!

 

Eosta was expecting the first shipment of Fairtrade certified organic ginger from its unique project in China in week 4. However, due to circumstances at the Red Sea, these containers have been delayed and are expected to arrive two weeks later. This ginger, known for its large size, usually has a higher resale value. We have great expectations from this crop.

Increased supplies of the new crop of 'regular' organic ginger from China are also expected. These deliveries are also experiencing some delays. Despite these challenges, the expectation is that the quality of the ginger will be worth the wait.

Smaller quantities of organic ginger are currently arriving from Peru due to climatic conditions in the previous year and low prices in recent years.

New Cultivation Projects in Europe

Eosta has recently set up its own organic ginger cultivation projects in four locations in Europe. These projects are in an experimental phase and focus on small-scale, specific cultivation methods. Initial results from these projects are promising and point to possible future expansion of locally produced organic ginger.

For more information on these developments or other questions, it is advised to contact Eosta's account manager.

Limes

Moroccan limes provide breathing space in a tight organic lime market

Demand for organic fruit continues to grow, and organic limes are no exception. Their popularity is being driven partly by increasing demand for cocktails, mocktails and homemade lemonades, as well as their wider use in salads, curries and other dishes. Consumers are also increasingly choosing citrus grown without synthetic pesticides and without post-harvest fungicide treatment.

Kivinaki

Kivinaki ready for the new Organic Raingrown Oranges season

Ahead of the new organic orange season, our sourcing team visited Kivinaki in Peru. Over the past four years, we have built a successful export programme with this growers’ co-operative. During the visit, we worked together to prepare for the coming months.

Pineapple

Healthy soil makes organic pineapples more resilient

In Costa Rica, too, the effects of climate change are becoming increasingly apparent. Heavy rainfall, in particular, is making organic pineapple cultivation more challenging and requires growers to be adaptable.
