“Between now and the end of the year, we import organic ginger from Peru,” says Luis Orrantia with Tropical Specialists. “There is no doubt that the quality of organic ginger from Peru stands out from other producing countries. It really is a specialty item that has a unique flavor,” Orrantia added. The product from Peru is thinner and spicier than ginger from China for instance. 
To guarantee a high-quality product, Tropical Specialists has a partnership with the grower and the packing house. “We have full control of the development of the product from seed to end,” Orrantia mentioned.
The season for Peruvian organic ginger looks very promising and Orrantia feels confident about the quality. Tropical Specialists has been importing organic ginger from Peru for three years. The product arrives in containers and is shipped by air across the United States. “Volumes have gone up every year in the past three years,” shared Orrantia. “Increasingly, people learn about the unique elements of Peru’s organic ginger, resulting in an increase in demand. On average, we are shipping one to two containers per month.”
