Fresh garlic shoots have recently entered Jinxiang Market. While market conditions were less than ideal last year, the current market price is not bad. The purchase price of garlic shoots in production areas is 1.7-2 yuan [0.25-0.30 USD] per 0.5 kg. However, this year's production volume per hectare seems to be lower than last year. The average production volume per 0.07 hectare is around 150-200 kg.
People in the industry stated that the overall product quality of garlic shoots in the Jinxiang Market is quite high this year. The wholesale price of early-season Chuan garlic shoots, depending on product quality, is around 5-6 yuan [0.74-0.89 USD] per kg. The price of early-season Taikong garlic shoots is slightly lower. After the first week of May, when garlic shoots of late-season garlic varieties enter the market in large volumes and visiting traders begin to converge on Jinxiang Market, then the price is likely to experience significant fluctuation.
