Earlier this week, Gaia Herbs received its first container of newly harvested Chinese ginger. This company is based in Poeldijk, the Netherlands. "We have noticed that the market is almost empty of ginger. This is making for extremely high prices. These prices are currently at around the EUR30 mark, " says Patrick Stoffels.
"The market is hot at the moment. There is a bit of a panic too. However, next week, the supply of ginger will increase. Prices will also drop drastically", he says. He is selling this Chinese ginger under the new Wauw label. This label will shortly also be rolled out to include other exotic products.
