About the Sundarbans Ginger Farms

 

Sundarbans Ginger Farms are set in the fertile, alluvial plains of the Sundarbans Delta — a region known for its organic richness, abundant rainfall, and perfect humidity for ginger cultivation. Here, we grow high-quality ginger using sustainable and chemical-free methods. This medicinal root, known for its pungent aroma and powerful therapeutic properties, is a major export crop and health supplement that has been used in traditional medicine for over 3000 years.

History and Global Spread

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) originated in South Asia and has long been used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. From India, it spread across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe through the spice trade. Today, it is cultivated globally in tropical and subtropical climates, including Africa, the Caribbean, and Southeast Asia. The Sundarbans’ unique deltaic environment enhances the essential oil content and flavor profile of ginger, making it highly sought after for both culinary and medicinal uses.
