You want to know why we are better? There are three good reasons:

We are fair, sustainable, focus on long-term quality: directly from the producer via B2B partners to the consumer. With organic products and sustainable cultivation that protects the climate. We know our partners, we know their quality. We have direct contact with them, we look at everything on site. That's why we are convinced of the freshness and quality of Jiahe Food.
We protect nature: because well-planned work without exploiting people and nature is rewarded with freshness and good taste.

They are happy because they are treated fairly. If you can't prove it, we won't take anything from you. This ensures our freshness and quality of Jiahe Food.
We plan with our B2B partners: from harvest to storage to delivery, we have everything in view. Our partners can plan firmly for our products. We know the harvest cycles, the quality of the products and exactly what will be available when and in what quantity. We harvest and store according to demand, coordinated with your freshness. Enjoy the freshness and quality of Jiahe Food every day anew.

Who we are

You want to know who we are? Gladly: Our shareholders are Jenny Min Zhang from Weifang Jiahe Food Co. LTD and graduate agricultural engineer Ralf Settels. They founded Jiahe Food GmbH on 1 August 2019 and have been working closely together since 2008. Ralf Settels knows the cultivation areas and production conditions at China's largest producer of organic ginger, Weifang Jiahe Food Co. LTD, very well. Weifang Jiahe Food Co. LTD grows organic ginger on 150 hectares in the Guanxi region of China and sells around 6,000 tonnes of traditional ginger annually from certified contract farms. They market their produce in China and for export. Sales and agricultural professional Settels and Jenny Min Zhang are already working together during his personal visits on site. In 2019, the plan was implemented to place marketing and representation with Jiahe Food GmbH in the hands of a subsidiary. Since then, the signs have been pointing to growth: slow, but sustainable and reliable.

After organic ginger from China as a product at the start, another partner with its product was quickly added to the programme with organic ginger from Peru. Ralf Settels has been working closely with the Peruvian family business Interloom of the Hardy family since 2009. Thus, Peruvian ginger became the second exclusive organic product of Jiahe Food GmbH. Interloom grows organic ginger on 51 hectares and organic turmeric on 5 hectares in Peru. Here they work in one of the most modern packing houses in Peru.

Since 2020, Jiahe Food GmbH has been cooperating with service providers in the well-known Fresh Park Venlo.

There they have one of the most modern warehouses in the Netherlands: not only is a state-of-the-art packing station integrated into a good 20,000 m2 . Thanks to its own photovoltaic power supply, storage and processing are climate-neutral. For the employees, there are bright recreation and social rooms that meet current requirements for a good working atmosphere.
