Peru is experiencing a ginger shortage due to a bacterial disease that has caused a 30% crop loss and reduced acreage, leading to a significant decrease in production.

To extend the season and meet demand, ginger was initially shipped by air, then switched to sea freight.

Additionally, the industry faces issues with irregular companies shipping lower quality ginger, and Nelson Vidaurre of Añawi is encouraging buyers to investigate the companies they source from to combat this issue.
