Vietnam has emerged as one of Asia’s leading producers and exporters of Vietnamese Fresh Ginger, a spice renowned for its warm aroma, rich flavor, and exceptional quality. Among the Vietnamese companies driving this success, DATO proudly stands out as a trusted exporter, successfully shipping fresh ginger from Vietnam to the United States, one of the world’s most demanding markets for agricultural imports.
About DATO – From the Highlands of Vietnam
DATO (Highland Herbs Company Ltd) is based in Dak To, Kon Tum province, an area in Vietnam’s Central Highlands known for its fertile volcanic soil and pristine natural conditions. This region provides the perfect environment for cultivating ginger with high essential oil content, firm texture, and distinctive flavor.
With over 200 hectares of ginger and herbal farms surrounding the Ngoc Linh mountain range, DATO partners with more than 500 farming households, most of whom are from ethnic minority communities. By promoting sustainable cultivation and offering technical training, we not only produce high-quality ginger but also create stable livelihoods for local farmers. Our production follows chemical-limited and eco-friendly standards, ensuring the purity and freshness of every ginger rhizome we export.
Expanding Vietnamese Fresh Ginger Exports to the U.S.
Our journey to the U.S. market has been a significant milestone. Exporting Vietnamese Fresh Ginger to the United States requires compliance with strict standards set by FDA authorities. Every shipment undergoes careful inspection, washing, sorting, and packaging to meet global import requirements.
At DATO, we ensure:
-
Full traceability from farm to port
-
Phytosanitary certification and export documentation
-
Cold-chain logistics to preserve freshness
-
Professional handling and inspection at each stage
-
High quality Vietnamese ginger
These standards have enabled DATO to become a trusted supplier of Vietnamese ginger to American importers, food processors, and wholesalers. Each container we deliver represents the dedication of our farmers and the natural abundance of Vietnam’s highlands.
Vietnamese Ginger Harvest Season: November to March
One of the most important advantages of Vietnamese Fresh Ginger is its ideal harvest season. In Vietnam, the fresh ginger harvest typically begins in November and lasts until around March. This timing ensures that the ginger rhizomes have fully matured, offering concentrated flavor, lower moisture content, and better storage quality.
Harvesting during this cool and dry season also aligns perfectly with global demand cycles — especially for winter and holiday markets in the Northern Hemisphere. For buyers in the United States, this means a steady supply of fresh, flavorful ginger precisely when demand is highest.

Product Quality and Processing
To maintain export-grade standards, DATO follows strict post-harvest processes. Our ginger is hand-selected, cleaned, and sorted before being packed in mesh or carton boxes. Depending on client needs, we offer vacuum-packed, chilled, or bulk container formats. Each batch undergoes internal testing for moisture, appearance, and essential oil levels.
Through advanced storage and logistics systems, we keep our Vietnamese Fresh Ginger fresh from farm to market. This ensures our partners in the U.S. receive premium quality ginger ready for distribution or further processing.
