Sources: 17. Developments: 2. The ginger market in Peru and Brazil is facing various supply, regulatory, and environmental pressures. In Peru, while current supply exceeds demand, producers face potential disruptions from El Niño-driven rainfall expected between November 2026 and March 2027. Additionally, the Peruvian industry is managing phytosanitary concerns, specifically regarding the bacterial pathogen Ralstonia, leading to stricter certification protocols by the National Agricultural Health Service (Senasa). In Brazil, exporters are contending with high production costs, competition from Chinese suppliers, and new European Union regulations requiring official disease-free certification. Recent reports from Peru confirm that the ginger sector continues to face high production levels coupled with low demand, which is contributing to ongoing price pressure. This economic environment aligns with previous projections that producers might reduce planting for the 2027-2028 season to stabilize future prices. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-20: Latin American agricultural and trade sectors report mixed economic trends Latin American agricultural sectors show mixed results: Chile prepares for a cherry export surge, Ecuador sees rising non-oil exports, and Colombian floriculturists seek aid amid economic shifts. 15 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/peru-ginger-industry-faces-production-surplus-and-new-phytosanitary-challenges ### 2026-09-10: Ginger producers in Peru and Brazil face supply and regulatory challenges Ginger producers in Peru and Brazil face rising challenges, including El Niño-related weather disruptions in Peru and new EU certification requirements and Chinese competition in Brazil. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ginger-producers-in-peru-and-brazil-face-supply-and-regulatory-challenges --- Cite as: Ginger production and export challenges in Peru and Brazil.
