Prices dropped further after the National Day holiday. High stock levels are the major concern in this year’s garlic market. Stocks are much higher than previous years. This has continued to lower garlic prices and also affect how much garlic farmers plant this season.<\/p>\n

Garlic planting in Jinxiang and nearby areas is now about 80%\u201390% complete. Some farmers are planting a few more acres than last year. However, some large growers who rent land are reportedly planting less. Overall, farmers remain keen to grow garlic, and most are planting about the same area as in previous years.<\/p>\n

The new garlic crop will harvest in May next year. For now, exporters mainly ship garlic from cold storage. At the same time, sea freight has also become a concern. With Christmas and the year-end busy season coming up, many exporters are trying to book shipping space. Containers are becoming harder to find on some routes. Several shipping companies have also announced higher freight rates and extra fuel charges starting in mid to late October 2026.<\/p>\n
