Pengji Ginger

Pengji Ginger

　　Pengji ginger features flat, plump, and round rhizomes with thick, pale-yellow skin and waxy-yellow flesh. It has fine fibers, a strong spicy flavor, and is rich in nutrients. The ginger is known for its large size, minimal fibers, and excellent storage qualities. The growing area boasts fertile soil and abundant surface and groundwater resources, with a pH level between 6.5 and 7—ideal conditions for ginger cultivation. The surrounding area is free from “three wastes” pollution, and the agricultural ecological environment is of high quality. Moreover, the promotion of pollution-free agricultural production techniques has been vigorously implemented, making it an excellent base for producing pollution-free vegetables. Currently, the ginger cultivation area in the town has reached 10,000 mu, with an annual output of 40 million kilograms. The main varieties are Japanese large ginger and Laiwu large ginger. The product is registered under the “Qingyang” brand and has been certified as a pollution-free agricultural product by Shandong Province. The ginger is mainly sold to Weifang, Liaocheng, the three northeastern provinces, as well as to South Korea, Japan, Pakistan, and Southeast Asia. Packaging is available in both bagged and boxed forms, with a standard package size of 25 kilograms. The town plans to introduce and develop a number of ginger deep-processing projects to further expand and strengthen the ginger industry.
