Garlic is the second most extensively farmed Allium after onion in terms of production volume. Around the world, we believe that garlic can treat various diseases and physical conditions. It is also an excellent culinary spice. Garlic comes in various forms, from whole cloves, fresh garlic, peeled garlic, smooth paste to powders, and supplements such as garlic extract and garlic oil, to name a few.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. About 1 million hectares (2.5 million acres) of garlic are grown worldwide each year, producing about 10 million metric tons of garlic. According to customs figures, China’s garlic export volume of fresh and cold-stored garlic reached 2.232 million tons in 2021, marking a ten-year high and the highest amount in the previous decade. If you compare it to the previous year’s total of 1.738 million tons, this implies an increase of 500,000 tons or 28.4 percent on an annualized basis. While this is happening, garlic export sales in 2022 are expected to reach 14.02 billion Chinese yuan ($2.2 billion), representing a 3.7 percent growth year on year.
The lasting effect of the COVID-19 epidemic has created difficulties for garlic suppliers in other countries. However, this has only helped strengthen the position of the Chinese garlic business in the international market. China has risen to become one of the largest wholesale garlic markets globally. China’s exports of garlic wholesale business have more than doubled in recent years, contributing to a 50 percent increase in local garlic prices.
According to the USDA, Fresh garlic exports peaked in May of 2021, hitting a total of 284,000 tons, with shipments topping 200,000 tons in June, July, November, and December of the same year. In 2021, the price of fresh and peeled garlic exports followed a V-shaped pattern. Prices peaked in January at 9,209 yuan ($1,400) per ton, the highest level of the year, before plummeting to a low of 4,695 yuan ($730) per ton in June and then steadily rising again in the months that followed.
