As the country with the world's largest ginger production and export volume, China's organic ginger foreign trade will usher in a dual opportunity of quality upgrading and market expansion in 2025. With the rise of global health consumption and the continuous increase in demand for organic agricultural products, China's organic ginger is transforming from "scale export" to "value export" with its production capacity advantage, technological innovation, and policy dividends. Its competitiveness in the international market is steadily improving, outlining a new landscape of diversified expansion and dual improvement of quality and efficiency in foreign trade.
The market landscape is showing a trend of diversified expansion, with traditional core markets and emerging incremental markets working together. By 2025, China's organic ginger granules exports will account for 42% of global trade, with Japan, South Korea, and the United States remaining core export destinations, accounting for a total of 52%. The Japanese market's demand for organic certified products will maintain an average annual growth rate of 8.2%. At the same time, the continued effectiveness of the RCEP agreement has become a key engine for expanding the Southeast Asian market. In 2024, China's organic ginger granules exports to RCEP member countries increased by 39% year-on-year, and the utilization rate of tariff preferences for freeze-dried ginger slices and other products exceeded 90%. It is expected that the ASEAN market share will exceed 25% by 2025. The Middle East region has become an emerging growth pole, with a surge in demand for Halal certified organic ginger granules from countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. The export unit price is 62% higher than the domestic market, injecting new vitality into foreign trade growth.
The continuous optimization of supply chain and quality control has built a solid foundation of trust in the international market. Mature industrial clusters have been formed in major production areas such as Laiwu in Shandong and Wenshan in Yunnan. The proportion of organic certified planting area in Wenshan, Yunnan has jumped from 8% in 2020 to 32% in 2023, and the product premium is 23 times that of conventional ginger. Twelve IoT traceability systems have been built and put into use in the main production areas, increasing the traceability coverage of exported products to 78% and reducing the quality complaint rate to 0.3%. At the same time, companies are actively overcoming international certification barriers. 52 companies have passed the EU organic certification, and 37 companies have obtained the US FDA certification, which has opened up a key channel for products to enter the high-end market. The upgrade of warehousing and logistics has further reduced post production losses, and the intelligent constant temperature warehouse has extended the storage period to 12 months, resulting in a 30% increase in off peak sales profits.
The organic dried ginger foreign trade in China in 2025 is a two-way pursuit of quality revolution and market development. From organic certification and technological empowerment at the planting end, to high value-added conversion at the processing end, and to diversified layout and channel innovation at the market end, Chinese organic dried ginger is integrating into the global supply chain with higher quality and richer forms. In the future, with the continuous promotion of industrial upgrading, China's organic dried ginger foreign trade will inevitably occupy a more important position in the global organic agricultural product market, writing a leap from "Chinese production" to "Chinese value".
