Love, I Produce Jim Prostov concluded: "with the increase in the planting area of the main producing areas, garlic production is increasing all over the world.". Garlic planting areas have increased in most of the northern hemisphere, including California, Spain and china. Over the past two years, farmers and producers have been stressed, and garlic markets have been encouraged to plant more garlic."
Although yields have increased in all parts of the world, growers face other challenges in converting their acreage into single output, which is then converted into marketable products. Provost explained: "the climate poses a challenge to the yield - the rainy spring and the hot harvest have had some adverse effects on garlic in California, and the actual impact depends on the geographical location of the field. Spain also experienced occasional rainfall problems during its harvest. Another major challenge that faces all parts of the world is the shortage of garlic for harvesting and packaging garlic."
Customers in the United States are not picky about garlic varieties, as long as they are large and white. "The American market favors big, white garlic," says Provost. Garlic varieties are not standard (specifications are generally more than 5.5 centimeters) and white skin is so important." He also said: "in the United States, the demand for Purple Garlic is small, mainly from the market for Asian and Latin American products."."
A space for one person in the United States imported garlic Ju Wen market, although the country has developed the legal protection of farmers, but farmers still feel the pressure. Asked about American garlic farmers' view of imported garlic, Provost explained: "the United States implemented anti-dumping measures against Chinese garlic, which helped stabilize the domestic industry, but American growers are still worried.". In recent years, Spanish garlic has also occupied a large market in the United States, domestic industry is competitors, but also to supplement its supply."
