A smaller crop and lower quality means the production of Chinese garlic will fall by 30% and could lead to rising prices worldwide.
China, the world's largest producer of garlic, will undergo a sharp drop in production.
China will suffer a decrease of 30% of its production. Poor weather conditions, cold and rain have affected crops and production will be lower in volume and quality. These circumstances associated with a decline in the area of garlic in the country explain
the collapse of Chinese production.
The situation seems critical because China produces 90% of the world's supply of garlic. The price of garlic in China is rising and this drop in production has implications for all countries importing Chinese garlic, which are already seeing price increases.
