"The Rising Price of Fresh Garlic Is Conducive to the Export of Garlic Rice"

"Although the price of garlic in China remains high in 2019, for frozen garlic rice exporters, the increase in the price of fresh garlic has greatly promoted the export of frozen garlic rice." Jiang told global fruit and vegetable.com.

"Frozen garlic rice is one of our main export products. Garlic rice is mainly supplied to some processing plants in Europe. Because frozen products can be stored for a long time, and easy to use, many catering enterprises will use frozen garlic rice, rather than fresh garlic as raw materials. In terms of price, the high price of fresh garlic in the domestic market this year has indirectly affected the price of frozen garlic rice to a certain extent. At present, the price of frozen garlic rice is about 1500 US dollars / ton, slightly higher than the same period of previous years. " "For Chinese garlic rice exporters, due to the high price of garlic this season, many customers in Europe, South Asia and the Middle East choose to import relatively cheap fresh garlic from Iran, Egypt or Spain, which has a certain impact on the export volume of fresh garlic," Jiang said

"In recent years, the European market has been very strict in the import quality inspection of frozen vegetable products in China, requiring more and more certification types. At present, we have global gap, BRC, SEDEX and smeta social responsibility certification. Most of our European customers mainly import ordinary frozen products, and a few customers need organic products. Our annual export volume to Europe has been relatively stable, about 300 tons. Britain, Holland, Germany and other countries have a high acceptance of the price of imported frozen vegetables. But in terms of order volume, our customers in the European market are mainly old customers, and the number of new customers has not increased significantly. " Manager Jiang said.
