Supplies up on imported garlic
Imported garlic looks to be arriving in high volumes.
“This year in garlic supplies we had high volumes from Spain as well as from our Argentinian partners who started to ship out their first containers of the season to us,” says Gaston Marquevich, CEO and founder of Vidalia, GA-based Generation Farms. He notes that supplies are consistent with 2019’s levels.
While Generation sources its garlic from Spain and Argentina, other countries shipping garlic currently are China, Mexico and Peru. Domestically, California is also supplying garlic. At the same time,
Generation has begun trials growing garlic out of its Vidalia, GA-based facility. “With the assistance of our partners in Miami, Argentina and Brazil, we are already planting and hoping to harvest out of our East Coast, US-based operations,” says Marquevich.
