Greenfruit has partnered with OML Agroinversiones SAC to supply Peruvian organic ginger and turmeric to European markets. The collaboration utilizes a new office in Ridderkerk to manage increased distribution volume.
Why it matters
The partnership aims to stabilize supply chains for these organic roots by integrating production, quality control, and distribution. This arrangement seeks to ensure a consistent, year-round availability of organic ginger and turmeric for consumers across Europe.
Greenfruit reports currently handling 3 to 5 containers of organic ginger and turmeric weekly, a growth from the single container processed every two weeks 1.5 years ago. The exact total annual volume capacity remains under investigation.
The players
Greenfruit
A Netherlands-based distributor specializing in the supply chain and direct distribution of organic produce.
OML Agroinversiones SAC
A Peruvian producer and exporter of organic agricultural products with integrated growing operations.
The details
The partnership combines Peruvian-based growing and traceability with direct distribution in the Netherlands. Shipments arrive in 8.5-kilo crates, which are then processed and repacked at the new Ridderkerk facility into smaller 2- or 5-kilo boxes for the market. This integrated model ensures consistent quality control from the origin farm to the final distribution point.
Timeline
1.5 years ago, the company began with one container every two weeks.
Ample supplies of ginger and turmeric are expected over the coming months.
Health Landscape
This partnership reflects an ongoing industry effort to increase the consistency and traceability of the European organic produce supply chain. By integrating source-to-market operations, distributors are attempting to mitigate the supply volatility often seen in imported organic roots.
Consumers seeking consistent access to organic ginger and turmeric can expect more stable availability in the coming months due to these logistics improvements. If you prioritize organic produce, check labels for origin information to discuss quality and sourcing transparency with your grocer.
The takeaway
Reliable supply chains are essential for maintaining steady access to fresh organic produce throughout the year. When shopping, look for certified organic labels to ensure your purchases meet recognized agricultural standards.
