Ukraine: Hot and dry weather has negatively affected the quality of commercial and planting garlic

Tridge summary

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.

This season has been very difficult for Ukrainian garlic producers. Among the reasons are the lack of quality planting material and the shortage of workers, since garlic requires a lot of manual labor, EastFruit reports. The President of the Association of Garlic Producers of Ukraine, a representative of the Dutch company for growing garlic and onions Gourmet, Yulianna Mussa, told AgroPortal that in the 2024 season, small areas were planted with garlic in Ukraine, since this crop is mainly grown by family farms or small farmers. “During the growing process, the main problem was the high temperature, which lasted from June to early August. This did not allow producers to harvest the garlic in a timely manner, so part of the crop was baked. This affected the quality of both commercial and planting garlic,” the specialist explained.
