The Asaja National Garlic Sector of Spain, led by Miguel del Pino, along with the National Garlic Board and MEPs from PSOE, PP, and Vox, have successfully initiated investigations by the European Commission into the fraudulent entry of Chinese garlic and the tariff-free importation of Egyptian garlic into the EU. This follows meetings in Brussels to address concerns over tax fraud, undervalued Egyptian garlic, and the need for higher prices for garlic from large surfaces.

The National Garlic Board represents garlic producers from several autonomous communities, and garlic cultivation in Spain covers around 29,630 hectares with a production of 309,100 tons.
