Ukrainian garlic producers have had a challenging season due to issues such as a lack of quality planting material, worker shortages, and high temperatures. These challenges have resulted in poor crop quality and losses. Despite these issues, there have been export deliveries of garlic to European countries and a small shipment to Japan. However, the potential for larger exports remains uncertain due to the quality issues. Additionally, the lack of professional storage facilities and power outages are making it difficult for Ukrainian producers to store and export garlic to countries like Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Moldova.
