A lot of this year's garlic production will be of a smaller size
Due to the lack of water, much of the production of garlic will be of a smaller size.
The water shortage has affected nearly 1750 hectares. Farms that have well water have been able to irrigate normally. The organization of Camara Ajeros estimated that 50% of the crop will be standard size and 50% of
smaller sizes.
And the bulbs that were to a 7-gauge will be 6, and those 6 will be 5 . For exports, sizes are usually 4 and up, particularly for the European markets. Volume loss should not affect prices according to industry professionals.
