BEIJING: Asurge in Chinese garlic prices saw Indian exports spiral, recording the largest growth among the spices in 2016-17 at 92 % to reach a new peak of `307 crore. The robust growth continued till October last year after when a big crop pulled down Chinese garlic prices, eclipsing India’s advantage.
China accounts for nearly 70% of the global garlic production and its variety is less pungent and bigger in size than Indian ones and is preferred by buyers in the US and Europe.
