Ginger Root prices and seasonality
Most ginger root sold in U.S. wholesale markets is imported, since domestic production is limited and includes Hawaii and other small growing areas. Major import origins commonly include China, Peru, and other tropical producing countries. Wholesale terminal-market prices are influenced by conditions in producing regions, harvest and shipping schedules, port and transportation logistics, available inventories, and competing import supplies. These reported values are terminal-market wholesale prices, not retail store prices.
