Exporting dried ginger to Europe
Europe is an interesting market for exporters of dried ginger. The demand is expected to grow in the coming years and prices are rising or relatively stable. China is the main supplier of both whole and ground ginger to Europe, and it is your main competitor on the European market.

The Netherlands is the largest importer and trader of ginger in Europe. Its imports have increased significantly in volume by 13% annually between 2013 and 2017.
- Since the United Kingdom sources 93% of its ginger from developing countries, it is an interesting export market for your products. The country is also the secondlargest importer of ginger in Europe, which could be caused by the relatively substantial population of Asian descent.
Germany is the thirdlargest importer of ginger. Its total imports in volume increased by 14% annually since 2013. The German per capita consumption is slightly higher than the European average.
