The coming ginger crop will exceed expectations, South African grower says

There is absolutely no domestically-grown ginger available in South Africa, but with the new season fast approaching, Sunreaped, a subtropical fruit producer in Kiepersol and southern Mozambique, is thrilled to announce that their ginger crop is flourishing.

“The ginger in the fields is exhibiting robust growth and exceptional quality, and it’s setting the stage for a bountiful harvest,” remarks Sunreaped CEO Joachim Prinsloo.

He is expecting an outstanding ginger yield towards the middle or end of March, which will be good news to retail buyers scrabbling for ginger last year as domestic supply plummeted.

"The crop is looking exceptionally good, and we are confident that it will surpass our expectations in terms of both quantity and quality."

He credits favourable growing conditions, coupled with their farming techniques and meticulous attention to detail.



“Sunreaped’s marketing team led by Esmarie Verwey will have their hands full to ensure that all outlets receive fresh ginger on time.”

Apart from the domestic ginger market, every now and then Verwey also receives an enquiry from international buyers.

They are well aware of the advantage conferred by South Africa’s weak exchange rate, and while Sunreaped has not exported ginger before, they’re Global GAP-certified and with growing volumes, well-situated to take this next step.

“Sunreaped is primed to make a significant impact in the agricultural landscape while continuing to uphold its legacy as a trusted purveyor of top-tier fresh ginger,” Prinsloo concludes.
