Our Services

Reliable Sourcing:

Reliable sourcing of ginger begins with selecting trusted suppliers from regions known for producing high-quality ginger, such as India (especially Kerala and Assam). These regions offer the ideal climatic and soil conditions for growing ginger with a high concentration of essential oils and bioactive compounds like gingerol. Suppliers should adhere to organic farming practices, avoiding the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, and be certified under Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). Ensuring that the ginger is harvested at peak maturity is crucial for maximizing its flavor, aroma, and potency. Collaborating with reputable suppliers who conduct thorough field inspections and quality checks guarantees a consistent supply of premium-grade ginger. Traceability throughout the supply chain is important, ensuring that the ginger is ethically sourced and grown under environmentally sustainable practices.

Premium Quality Assurance:

Premium quality assurance for ginger involves rigorous testing and inspections throughout the production process. This includes checking for contaminants such as pesticides, heavy metals, and microbial agents to ensure the ginger meets international safety standards. Fresh ginger should be free from blemishes, mold, and excessive fiber, while dried ginger should be tested for moisture content to prevent spoilage and maintain its natural oils. The ginger is also evaluated for its gingerol content, which is a key indicator of quality, as higher levels provide more potent flavor and health benefits. Proper drying methods, whether sun-dried or mechanically dried, are employed to preserve the ginger’s natural color, aroma, and medicinal properties. Packaging in air-tight, food-grade materials helps maintain freshness and prevents moisture or light exposure. Certifications like ISO, HACCP, and FSSAI further ensure that the ginger complies with global quality benchmarks, reinforcing its premium status.

Process:

The processing of ginger begins with harvesting the rhizomes at full maturity, usually 8-10 months after planting. Once harvested, the ginger is thoroughly cleaned to remove soil and impurities. Depending on the intended use (fresh or dried), the ginger is either directly packed or peeled and sliced for drying. Drying methods include sun drying, which takes 10-15 days, or mechanical drying, which accelerates the process to 12-15 hours. During this stage, it is essential to monitor moisture levels to prevent spoilage while retaining the ginger’s natural oils and potency. Once dried, the ginger undergoes sorting and grading based on size, color, and fiber content. Rigorous testing for contaminants and gingerol levels is performed to ensure premium quality. The processed ginger is then packaged in moisture-resistant, food-grade materials and labeled with batch information for traceability. The ginger is stored in cool, dry conditions to maintain its flavor, aroma, and health benefits until it reaches the market.

Packaging, Shipping & Delivery

Packaging:

Bags and Pouches:

For Chickpeas, high-quality food-grade materials such as laminated multi-layer pouches (made of materials like PET, PE, BOPP, and Aluminum foil) are used. These bags are moisture-proof and help retain the freshness, flavor, and aroma of the spices. Zip-lock pouches, stand-up pouches, and resealable bags are also popular for smaller quantities.

Polypropylene (PP) Woven Bags:

These are the most common types of bags used for packaging large quantities (25 kg and 40 kg) of Chickpeas. They are made of woven polypropylene material, which is strong, lightweight, and durable, providing excellent resistance to tearing and damage during handling and transport.

Laminated Bags:

For additional protection against moisture and humidity, PP woven bags can be laminated with a layer of plastic film. This lamination creates a barrier against moisture, ensuring the spices stay dry and fresh during transportation and storage.

Multi-Wall Paper Bags:

These bags consist of several layers of kraft paper, which provide strength and are often lined with a plastic or polyethylene layer to offer protection against moisture and humidity. They are environmentally friendly and widely used in many markets for exporting food products.

Vacuum-Sealed Packaging:

This type of packaging removes air from the package before sealing, which helps prevent oxidation and moisture build-up, preserving the quality and extending the shelf life of the spices.

Paper or Carton Boxes:

After the packaging, the smaller bags or pouches are placed in corrugated cardboard cartons or paper boxes. These cartons are sturdy, stackable, and protect the contents from physical damage during handling and transportation.

Palletization and Wrapping:

Cartons or sacks are often stacked on wooden or plastic pallets and wrapped with stretch film or shrink wrap. This provides stability, reduces the risk of damage during transport, and makes handling more efficient.

Export Documentation:

Handle all necessary export documentation, including phytosanitary certificates, certificates of origin, and any specific certifications required by the importing country.

Efficient Shipping:

Partner with reliable freight forwarders and logistics companies to ensure timely and safe delivery of goods. Offer multiple shipping options (air, sea, or land) based on customer preferences.
