Thai garlics price trends rising in 2021/2022 crop season

The selling price of imported garlic from China and India affected by the COVID-19 pandemic has led growers to reduce their garlic cultivation area in this 2021/2022 planting season by 15%-25% compared with the 2020/2021 season. Approximately 27,000 acres of arable land will reduce to 20,000-23,000 acres, thus decreasing garlic production.

Currently, the price of dried decapitated garlic is USD 2.12-2.27 per kg. This price is expected to increase to about USD 2.65-2.84 US per kg.
