The journey of cultivating superior grade ginseng

The ginseng cultivation farms that Hockhua invested in are mainly from Toronto in Canada. Located in the North American region, the world’s greatest freshwater lakes are found there. The lands have fertile soil, suffi cient rainfall, cool weather in summer and freezing conditions in winter. In geographical terms, the areas near the Great Lakes of North America are most suitable for cultivating superior grade ginseng. In order to ensure optimum quality, manufactured ginseng must go through a rigorous selection process. The criteria includes colour, shape and overall appearance. Under heavy scrutiny, only those that fully meet the criteria are transported to Singapore. Hockhua is one of the very few retailers that is involved in the whole process from cultivation, excavation, drying, to transportation and processing. This ensures that customers of Hockhua get only the fi nest quality ginseng.
