Garlic E-commerce Popularity Continues

According to the "Farmer's Daily" report, China Garlic Prices have continued to decline in the first half of this year. However, since January, the popularity of the garlic e-commerce market has continued to rise, and after reaching its peak in May, it has fallen back, but it has remained at a high level.

A few days ago, the Information Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the Hunan Agricultural and Rural Information Center released the June 2020 garlic e-commerce market monitoring analysis based on the supply, purchase and transaction data of 4934 garlic merchants on Huinong. Monitoring shows that since the beginning of this year, the popularity of the garlic e-commerce market has continued to heat up, and market attention has been soaring; the garlic e-commerce market suppliers and purchasers cover 31 provinces and multiple counties and cities across the country; brand garlic is favored by buyers; garlic trade flows relatively dispersed, Yunnan's strength as a garlic export province has gradually emerged.

According to the monitoring of the Information Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, in June this year, china garlic supplier covered 809 counties in 31 provinces across the country. Among them, the top 3 provinces with garlic supply popularity are Shandong, Henan and Jiangsu, with a total supply share of more than 70%. On the county level, the supply of Jinxiang County in Shandong dominates, which is the same as the total supply of Qi County in Henan, Pizhou in Jiangsu, Zhongmu County in Henan, and Midu County in Yunnan.

In the e-commerce market, Jinxiang Garlic performed well. Among the brands preferred by core purchasers such as wholesalers, e-commerce companies, and agents, Jinxiang Garlic ranked first. This is inseparable from the brand effect of Jinxiang garlic as a landmark product. As early as the 1990s, Jinxiang garlic obtained the A-level green food certificate of the former Ministry of Agriculture. In 2003, it was approved as a national geographical indication protected product by the former General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. Last year, it was selected as a Chinese agricultural brand catalog.

Compared with the relatively stable supply geothermal ranking, the purchasing place ranking has seen some new changes. The data shows that garlic procurement in June involved 290 cities in 31 provinces across the country, and the procurement volume of each province was relatively balanced. Guangdong, Sichuan and Guizhou are currently the three most active provinces in garlic procurement. Compared with last year, Guangdong's procurement ranking jumped to the top and ushered in the largest growth.
