Prices of ginger in Dubai increase due to the Coronavirus

The global demand for fresh ginger is currently noteworthy. This is the low season for the production of Brazilian and Peruvian ginger, which means that the majority of the supply on the international market comes from China. In Dubai, the demand for this spice has increased considerably in recent weeks.
Dubai mainly imports ginger from China and Thailand, but most of the supply comes from China. The exports of Chinese ginger have slowed considerably due to the coronavirus epidemic.
At the same time, prices on the Dubai fruit and vegetable market started to rise because importers were worried about the consequences of the slowing trade. It is also worth stating that the container ships generally take about a month to travel from China to Dubai.
