Tridge summary

The global ginger market is experiencing a price surge due to low yields in China and India, leading to a decrease in Asian stocks and a rise in prices. This has resulted in reduced consumption in China. However, a potential relief from high prices is expected in June-July with the arrival of fresh ginger from Brazil and Peru. China is the largest exporter of fresh ginger, followed by Thailand and India, while the main importers are the USA, Bangladesh, Pakistan, the Netherlands, the UAE, and Japan. Germany is the largest consumer of ginger in Europe.
