Canadian Garlic Supplies From China Remain Stable During W49

In Canada, supplies of garlic (peeled, whole, fresh, dry) from China remain stable, with a pricing easing of 5-8%. Overall, shipping costs are starting to ease slightly, but there are still shipping delays, mostly unloading delays upon arrival at the Port of Vancouver due to increased holiday volumes. Until the logistics situation returns to normal, a variable supply is expected, with the potential for quality issues and variable pricing. The possibility of COVID-19 lockdowns in China could cause lower supplies and an increase in pricing as the end of 2022 approaches.
