Various fresh ginger markets in Shandong recently responded to rising temperatures with increased trade activity. Although fresh ginger already entered the seasonal slow business period, but market demand for fresh ginger remains strong, especially in north China.
Furthermore, now that the small turmeric trade from Yunnan and Guizhou has concluded, many traders from south China also turn their attention to north China. Consumer demand for fresh ginger still grows in south China and buyers are forced to purchase fresh ginger from production areas at high prices. However, the available supply volume is small. Buyers rush to get their hands on limited supply and the price continues to rise.
