Buderim Ginger's commitment to its product does not begin or end at the factory gate. As the recognised global leader in confectionery ginger Buderim Ginger not only ensures unrivalled customer service levels but extends its involvement to the very ginger harvested. Buderim Ginger and the Queensland Horticulture Industry (QHI) have joint plant breeders rights to the variety of ginger now known as "Buderim Gold" This particular species of Ginger improves harvest yields whilst maintaining the citral flavour characteristics so sought after in Australian Ginger.

Ginger Growing commences with planting in September using golf ball sized pieces cut from rhizomes (root-like subterranean stems) of the previous year’s crop. Throughout the ginger growing season, the crop thrives in the unique geographical conditions of the Sunshine Coast hinterland. This is the only location in Australia where ginger growing is undertaken commercially, due to nature providing the perfect growing combination of rich, volcanic soils, high rainfall and humidity. Ginger, in its native state, is a rainforest plant with magnificent lilly-like flowers.

The ginger crop is systematically fertilised and continually watered through sophisticated irrigation systems.

By February, the ginger farms carry a dense mass of vegetation to a height of about a metre. Underground, the plants develop succulent new rhizomes in large clumps of odd-shaped "hands". Buderim Ginger field officers monitor the crop to determine the optimum time of harvest to ensure that only the highest-quality raw ginger reaches the factory.
