"As a big country of garlic cultivation and export, China's production volume of garlic is more than 70% of the world's. The main cultivation areas are Qi county, Zhong Mu, Jin Xiang, Pi Zhou, Lan Ling, Cang Shan. Among these, Jinxiang has been renowned as the "Hometown of Chinese Garlic". However, it is an old cultivation area. Relatively speaking, Henan province has many new cultivation areas, the production volume out of which can reach about 2 million tons. " said Liu Bingjie, Henan garlic grower and merchant.

"This year, generally speaking, the global garlic market is not running well. China's is not an exception. In particular, the market in Yunnan and Sichuan are really low. The products even become unsaleable. Now, the price of domestic garlic is about 0.8 yuan per jin, compared to the price of 1.6 yuan per jin in the same period of last year, 50% of the price. Not only in China, the export to Burma and India is also difficult."

"This year, the garlic season will start from the mid of August. Speaking of the current situation, the low-running market seems to be already settled. It is predicted that even the cut-throat competition will appear. The reason comes to that the supply exceeds the demand. Since the demand is basically fixed, the main problem is caused by the supply. "
