Fresh Garlic: Seasoning the World Through Cross-Border Trade

Garlic is a bulb-shaped vegetable and a part of the onion family (including leeks, chives, and scallions). When we refer to fresh garlic, it means garlic that has not yet been dried and was harvested recently. This versatile veggie is known for its pungent aroma and flavor. Its name comes from the English word 'garleac' which means 'spear-shaped leek'. It is used worldwide in almost every cuisine as a condiment to flavor food. Each garlic bulb has 10 to 20 individual cloves and is enclosed in a white, papery skin with yellowish flesh within. Garlic is one of the oldest known horticultural crops, with references dating back over 5,000 years. The Greek physician Hippocrates used garlic to treat a number of illnesses such as respiratory problems, parasites, fatigue, and poor digestion. In ancient Greece, Olympic athletes were given garlic to improve their performance. There are several health benefits related to garlic due to the presence of sulfur compounds. Whether used in culinary preparations, the food preservation sector, or traditional medicine, fresh garlic continues to remain in international demand. To meet the growing needs of fresh garlic buyers, exporters must focus on quality, consistency, and timely delivery. The major players in the fresh garlic cross-border trade are India, China, and Spain. Key regions with high demand include the United States, the European Union (particularly Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and France), Indonesia, and countries in the Middle East.



Types of Garlic in Demand Across the Globe

Global garlic consumption continues to rise due to several factors. These include increasing awareness of its health benefits, growing use in the processed food industry, a shift toward plant-based diets in vegan and ethnic cuisine markets, and health-conscious trends creating demand for organic vegetables like fresh garlic.

Understanding regional culinary preferences will help you target the right garlic type for every market.
