Amid the global movement toward “eat clean – live green,” Vietnamese ginger is no longer just a humble kitchen spice — it is rising to become a strategic ingredient on the map of international agricultural exports.
Behind every firm, spicy ginger root lies the story of the fertile Central Highlands, of ethnic minority farmers preserving eco-friendly cultivation practices, and of DATO’s journey to create sustainable value. As a Social Impact Business (SIB), DATO has successfully brought Vietnamese ginger to some of the world’s most demanding markets including the United States, Japan, the EU, South Korea, Australia, and the Middle East.
Vietnamese Ginger: From Humble Spice to Global “Golden Ingredient”
Once considered a humble kitchen staple, ginger is now valued globally across the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and wellness industries. Its rich antioxidant profile, natural anti-inflammatory properties, and bold flavor make it a high-demand commodity in the global supply chain.
However, the journey from a ginger root in Vietnam to a supermarket shelf in Tokyo, Los Angeles, or Berlin requires strict compliance with international standards – including standardized farming, certified processing, and transparent traceability.
That’s exactly the path DATO is committed to, by building a fully integrated supply chain from farm to global market — combining traditional farming wisdom with modern export technologies.
Spice cultivation area in Vietnam’s Central Highlands
At the heart of DATO’s export success is its nearly 300-hectare cultivation spice and herbal area in Central Highlands, developed in collaboration with over 500 farming households, more than 70% of whom are ethnic minorities.
Thanks to its mild climate, rich basalt soil, and natural water sources from upland forests, Đăk Tô provides the ideal conditions for cultivating clean, chemical-free ginger.
More than a buyer, DATO acts as a true partner to farmers, offering:
🌱 High-quality seedlings, adapted to local conditions
♻️ Training in organic farming techniques, with no chemical pesticides
