Big picture: Ginger in the supply chain
Choosing a supplier of Ginger should not be a lottery: review track record, supply capacity, current certificates and references from other buyers. A supplier that answers in 24-48 hours, accepts independent inspection and closes Incoterm, packaging and lead times in writing is worth more than a small discount.
Factors that weigh in the buying decision
Before closing a large volume of Ginger, request a sample and an independent laboratory analysis. The cost of that control is minimal compared with a rejection at destination.
