Global garlic production has been reduced, leading to high prices around the world, particularly in Europe and India. In Europe, Christmas demand and reliance on more expensive Chinese imports have driven prices to historic highs. Due to drought, Spanish and French garlic production has dropped significantly, further impacting prices. Despite strong demand in the international market, the domestic market for garlic is relatively flat, but China's garlic export momentum remains strong, with a 14-year high in November 2023.
