China: Garlic planting area reduced in 2018, will garlic prices rise in 2019?

Now that the season for growing garlic has arrived, the large garlic producers in Zhangzhou and Jinxiang are busy planting this year's garlic. It is understood that the planting area of garlic has decreased slightly this year. There are many reasons for farmers to reduce the area planted with garlic. The low price of garlic in summer has reduced the enthusiasm of farmers to grow garlic. Due to the reduction of garlic planting areas, many people think that the price of garlic will definitely rise in 2019. Will it really be like this?

According to the statistics of various garlic institutions, the volume of garlic cold storage in 2018 is still relatively large, and the market may have difficulty accepting it all. If the area of garlic planted this year is reduced, it may lead to a situation where supply is less than the demand in 2019, and the price will definitely rise. If this year's planting area is reduced, but the reduced output is not enough to change the supply and demand relationship of garlic in 2019, the price of garlic is still not too optimistic - but there will be no "too cheap" situation this year, and there will be no "too expensive" situation for garlic prices.The price of garlic in 2019 is hard to predict.
