2. Garlic
Facts
The U.S. is the world's
largest garlic importer,
according to the
Agricultural Marketing
Resource Center,
accounting for 339 million
pounds of garlic in 2017. It is
also the world's largest
consumer.
Garlic production is heavily
dominated by Asian countries. China
dominates about 80% of the global
market in both production and
export. Followed by China, India
(5.27% share in global production),
Bangladesh (1.44%), Egypt (1.05%), and
South Korea (1.04%) are the major
producers of garlic.
Garlic is a pantry staple that is
used as a flavoring agent. It can be
rendered as powder, syrup, and oil
through steam distillation. Farmers
usually plant garlic in the fall to
achieve larger bulbs, which requires
adequate drainage systems, as its
roots are shallow. Garlic cloves are
frost tolerant and, therefore, not
affected by subfreezing
temperatures once their roots
become well intact

3. European
Market scenario
EU waged a lawsuit against the UK for
fresh garlic “mis-declared” as frozen or
dehydrated garlic cloves, which have
lower tariffs than that of fresh garlic. The
European Anti-Fraud Office estimates
that millions of euros have been lost as a
result of unfair competition.² Bolivia is
among many nations facing similar
problems amidst garlic overflow.

4. China
Scenario
Cheaper labor, less regulation and overall
lower production costs all allow Chinese
growers to undercut most of its global garlic
rivals. Pricing pressure from cheaper Chinese
garlic has caused a lot of U.S. farms to scale
back production or shut down completely.
In 2017, China’s garlic stock has reached a record high
of 3.2 million tons, up by 1.05 million tons from the
previous year. Price decrease as a result of over
production has recently prompted other garlic
producers like Argentina to artificially lower its own in
order to maintain its foothold in the market.

5. China Market Scenario
 In order to increase profit margins, the
Chinese government has been encouraging
companies to expand their manufacturing
chains and increase the production of high-
value-added (HVA) varieties such as
dehydrated and frozen garlic cloves.
 HVA varieties are usually sold at a price that
is five to ten times higher than that of fresh
garlic.
 The process of turning garlic into its
byproducts produces pollutants that are
detrimental to the environment

6. India Market
Scenario
• regulations
Very High value products –
India can Plan
In 2016, India raised duties on fresh
garlic import to a full 100%. Value-
added commodities like frozen garlic
may become the next area of the
target, as it is the lesser saturated
market today.
India has already banned the import
of garlic from China last year after the
spice sourced from that country was
found to be infested with diseases. ...
China is the largest producer and
exporter of garlic with average annual
production of around 15 lakh tones.

fermentation process, aged black garlic is an all

The flavor and aroma of garlic as we expect it is
diminished but in its place is a rich, almost demi-
glaze like flavor that finishes with the sweetness
of figs and the subtle undertones of garlic Aged
black garlic is also a good source of s-
allylcysteine, a natural chemical that’s believed
tohave health benefits. S-allylcysteine has been
studied for its cancer preventive properties aswell
as its ability to lower cholesterol. The
fermentation process also produces a high level of
antioxidants which gives black garlic even more
potent health benefits. Most source
