Top exporters of garlic in the world
The total value of garlic exports by garlic exporting countries in 2016 was about 4 billion dollars.
Asian countries accounted for 74.4% of garlic exports worth 2.7 billion dollars.
The countries of China, Spain and Argentina have occupied the first to third ranks of garlic exports.
The course of Iran
The largest sale of Iran’s garlic exports has been made to Russia, which has a share of about 85 percent of the exports of this product. Exports with a high share limited to one country increase the risk of exports.
In order to diversify garlic exports, different tools can be used, such as export subsidies, preferential tariffs, or transportation subsidies for exports to target countries.
Exporting garlic producing provinces
One of the important export goods in the country is garlic, which, in addition to direct consumption by the household, has a special use in industrial matters, including preservatives and use in the production of medicine. The most important pole of garlic production for export is Hamadan province, whose share has been around 62 percent of the total garlic production in the country over the past years, and it has a share of 25 percent of the area under cultivation of this product in the country.
Establishing garlic export terminals in producing provinces
The establishment of garlic export terminals in the provinces, considering that Ardabil, Hamadan, East Azerbaijan, Gilan provinces are the poles of export garlic production, will lead to the reduction of export time and speed up this matter.
This issue will play an important role in reducing transaction costs and increase business productivity.
This issue leads to a decrease in the cost of trade and an increase in competitiveness in international markets.
Sustainable export
Iran’s export course is not sustainable in the form of supply-oriented and cannot maintain its acceptable competitiveness.
Paying attention to consumer needs and demand-oriented exports is one of the basic principles for garlic exports, which leads to sustainable and competitive exports.
Gaining information and awareness of the quality of consumption in the target country can lead to a successful export.
Ensuring export product safety
There are always health and safety concerns regarding food and agricultural products.
Before proceeding with the export, one should get detailed information about the quarantine conditions, how to obtain health and health certificates, so that it does not lead to the return of the cargo from the target market.
