This season, the size of garlic is relatively large, and the garlic above 5.5cm and 6.0cm accounts for than 60%-70%."

"This season's garlic production is high, and there are about 1 million tons of old garlic in the market. Therefore, it is expected that the export price of garlic in the second half of the year should be lower than in previous years." Mr. Wang said.
When talking about the export expectations for new garlic, Mr. Wang said, "In terms of sea freight, the sea freight has been downward since March. Affected by the epidemic and the situation in Russia and Ukraine, the export competition environment for garlic this season is quite fierce."
