The main producers of Ginger worldwide are China, India and Nigeria, with countries like Peru, Myanmar and Thailand also having smaller cultivations. Robust International has state of the art infrastructure for cleaning and processing Dried Ginger in order to provide our clients with the best quality available directly from the farmgate.

As Ginger is a product very sensitive to quality, the goods procured go through a very careful process of sieving, magnet cleaning as well as multiple hand picking and sun drying sessions in order to maintain their quality for shipment to our clients worldwide. We also offer Organic Ginger that complies to FDA and EU regulations on pesticides and Aflatoxins/Ochratoxins.

Dried Whole Ginger is the whole form of the ginger root. Its properties are very similar to Split Ginger although their practical applications differ slightly. Extractors who use ginger for oleoresin extraction for example, get better yields from Whole Ginger as opposed to Split Ginger. Moreover, split ginger is considered a value-added product and hence the market rates are accordingly significantly higher compared to Whole Ginger, whose rates are generally much more competitive.

Turmeric, a plant in the ginger family, is native to South Asia and has been cultivated for centuries across the Indian subcontinent. Its rhizome (underground stem) is widely used as a culinary spice and traditional Ayurvedic medicine. In recent years, turmeric has gained global popularity as a dietary supplement for conditions including arthritis, digestive issues, respiratory infections, allergies, liver disorders, and depression.

Turmeric is a staple spice in Indian cuisine and a key ingredient in curry powders and masalas. The active compound curcumin is responsible for turmeric’s deep yellow color and many of its health-promoting properties. Curcumin content varies depending on the region and variety of the turmeric grown.

We primarily offer Whole Turmeric Fingers sourced from major turmeric-producing states in India, such as Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala. Our procurement focuses on high-curcumin varieties suited for both culinary and nutraceutical applications.

Varieties Offered:

Salem (Tamil Nadu) – 3.5%–5% Curcumin
Bright yellow color, widely used in spice powders and food processing. Known for its aroma and smooth texture.

Rajapuri (Maharashtra) – 4%–5% Curcumin
Bulky fingers with good color retention; often used in both domestic and export markets.

We ensure the turmeric is carefully cleaned, sun-dried, and sorted to meet international quality standards, including optional organic-certified lots that comply with FDA and EU pesticide and contaminant regulations.
