“The market is very difficult,” said Nathalie Stephan of Condifrance. “The world market, and especially Spain, has very low prices.” French suppliers compete with Spain for the European market during the same time, so low prices for Spanish garlic means increased competition for French growers.
Condifrance sends their garlic to Belgium, Germany, Italy and Switzerland, and in addition to the garlic, they import supplies from Spain and Argentina. They ship white French garlic, purple germidour, pink French du Tarn and Pink Lautrec garlic. Despite the difficulties this year, Nathalie Stephan believes their season could get better.
“The future could be positive,” noted Nathalie, “if quality is good and prices become attractive for growers.”
