The Netherlands reports a ginger market under pressure from oversupply, with prices sometimes even below cost. Demand is recovering after summer, but prices remain far from sustainable levels. In Italy, sales are stable but prices are very low, with the market collapsing since June due to heavy volumes from Brazil and China. Traders expect weakness to continue at least until October.

Germany is seeing a recovery after a quiet summer, though prices remain below last year amid freight delays through the Suez Canal. Demand from industry is rising, but growth appears to be slowing. In France, demand is improving with the school year restart, but high volumes continue to put pressure on prices. Supplies have shifted, with reduced availability from Peru and higher flows from Brazil and China.
