Question 1

What are the standard Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs) for bulk dry ginger?

Accepted Answer

Standard export MOQs generally start at one 20ft Full Container Load (FCL), approximately 12-14 MT for whole dry ginger and 16 MT for ginger powder. Select Indian suppliers in our network may support consolidated LCL orders or trial pallets for qualification purposes.

Question 2

How do Indian dry ginger grades like Cochin, Calicut, and Northeast types compare?

Accepted Answer

Cochin and Calicut whole ginger are globally recognized for rich aroma, light color, and optimal fiber content, ideal for grinding and extraction. Northeast Indian varieties generally exhibit exceptionally high gingerol levels and volatile oil fractions, preferred by nutraceutical and extraction buyers.

Question 3

How are sterilization and microbial counts managed for export to the EU and US?

Accepted Answer

Exporters in our network provide validated Steam Sterilization (ETO-free) to reduce Total Plate Count (TPC), Yeast & Mold, E. Coli, and Salmonella to meet stringent US ASTA and European Spice Association (ESA) microbiological criteria.

Question 4

Can I obtain pre-shipment laboratory samples and Certificates of Analysis (COA)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Buyers can request representative pre-shipment samples along with a complete COA from ISO 17025 accredited laboratories covering moisture, volatile oil, pesticide residues, aflatoxins, and heavy metals prior to finalizing container dispatch.

Question 5

What is the difference between bleached and unbleached dry ginger in bulk procurement?

Accepted Answer

Unbleached dry ginger is natural, cleaned, and sun-dried without additives, making it the choice for extraction and purity-focused markets. Bleached ginger is treated with a light calcium oxide (lime) coating to enhance appearance and deter insect infestation during prolonged storage.

Question 6

What typical payment terms do commercial Indian spice exporters accept?

Accepted Answer

Standard commercial terms include Irrevocable, Confirmed Letter of Credit at Sight (L/C) or Telegraphic Transfer (T/T with 30% advance and 70% against clean shipping documents / Bill of Lading copy).

Question 7

How are aflatoxin and heavy metal levels commercial for high-compliance markets?

Accepted Answer

Export-grade batches are pre-tested using LC-MS/MS and ICP-MS instrumentation to verify Aflatoxin Total (<10 ppb or <4 ppb per specific EU directives) and lead, cadmium, and arsenic levels well within destination regulatory limits.

Question 8
