However, the garlic that is known as "garlic you cruel" this year appears "xiuqi" many.
This year, after reaching a peak in April, the new garlic in May went off a cliff and went straight to the freezing point. In August, it went public with a low profile.

Dealer Mr. Wang: garlic is up a little bit this time, red garlic is up, white garlic is a little bit down, not much.
Red garlic mainly comes from yunnan and white garlic from shandong and henan.
When the goods are less, they will go up.
As the weather turns cold, the prices of all kinds of vegetables are rising to varying degrees.
Even so, the price of garlic has continued to fall, rather than rising.
Jinxiang county, jining city, shandong province, is known as "the hometown of garlic in China", and the garlic market here also has seen a small decline and a slow delivery.
Shandong jinxiang: garlic market, the recent cargo increases and diversity of goods, in addition to the local jinxiang garlic, nonlocal source slightly increased, garlic specification is different, though garlic prices slightly down trend, shipment delay phenomenon.
The reporter learned that, starting from June this year, the price of garlic went down the channel.
With the sale of new garlic in bulk, the price of garlic in the price of 10-15 yuan/kg fell sharply at the end of April, with some garlic selling at only about 5 yuan per jin, or more than 50 percent.
At present, shandong province jinxiang, cangshan and other garlic main producing area are all big harvest, this year "garlic you hard" the chance not very much.

In addition to the sale of garlic itself, garlic's deep processing industry, once the price of garlic has dropped, will increase the amount of garlic products in the company, thus increasing the consumption of garlic.
Farmers can also develop precocious varieties and stagger garlic concentration for time to increase their risk tolerance.
At the same time, it is also recommended that the government adopt relevant supporting policies and develop garlic processing industry so that the garlic farmers can pass the price trough smoothly.
