"I was very impressed by the trip, the culture, and life there."— Rob van Baal, Co-founder
How NOW Organic Started
NOW Organic was co-founded by Rob van Baal and Hans Versteegh in 2006. Rob spent eight years working in the organic sector in China before the company was established. During that time, he developed direct relationships with ginger growers and gained hands-on knowledge of organic cultivation and processing.
Since 2006, NOW Organic has been sourcing certified organic ginger from both China and Peru, and has expanded into turmeric, mandarins, and a range of fruit juice concentrates. Rob manages operations in Dalian, China, while Hans oversees European logistics and sales from Aalsmeer, the Netherlands.

Together with Hans Versteegh, Rob van Baal founded NOW in 2006. Rob runs the business in Dalian, China and Hans in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands.
Dalian NOW runs this modern facility for storage and processing of fresh ginger. After the harvest in October the organic fresh ginger is stored in the climate-controlled warehouse. With a capacity of around 3,000MT we can supply our customers all year around.
The Process
Premium fresh ginger is mainly imported from Peru as to provide our customers with pallets or full container loads. The fresh ginger is processed into juice in a specialized factory in the Netherlands.
After processing the juice is bottled in drums and bag-in-box packaging for the industry to make blends. Pure organic ginger juice is bottled in jars for the retail and food service market. From our storage in The Netherlands we are able to serve our customers worldwide.
The Suppliers
Since 2006, NOW Organic has been importing ginger from Peru, which, alongside China is a leading producer of ginger. We source our ginger from multiple Peruvian producers who comply with strict regulations for organic products.
Upon arrival in the Netherlands, the ginger undergoes thorough quality control. After extensive testing of the fresh ginger, it is processed to obtain pure ginger juice.
