The US market's demand for garlic imports is increasing. There will be good availability of garlic and the context for trade looks "very good", emphasized Juan Pablo Ríos, sales manager for the US and Canada at Flavor King Produce LLC.
The American company specializing in garlic and ginger imports is preparing for a promising Argentine garlic season. Ríos also said they were ready to receive the first container of the season, which will last until April next year, in November. He also said production was coming along very well and that they expected to receive 25 to 30 containers of garlic in the next six months, in response to the high demand in the US market.
Flavor King Produce LLC focuses on providing an agile service for wholesale and retail customers in the US. The company has local warehouses on the east and west coasts of the country, and will soon have them in Canada, which facilitates access to the product to a large number of wholesalers and retailers throughout the territory and eliminates the need for its customers to import directly.
The quality of Argentinean garlic is an important aspect for the company, which focuses on OTC products (other than China) with added value due to the good weather conditions and the knowledge of local producers that have been growing this crop for many years. This year, Argentina has achieved "a more favorable context for investment and production" thanks to macroeconomic stability under the new government, Rios said. This change has allowed producers to better cope with the increase in production costs, favoring a balance in price adjustments and local tariffs.
For Flavor King Produce LLC, this season represents an opportunity for growth and differentiation in the US market, In addition, since the southern hemisphere's harvest takes place in the northern hemisphere's counter season, they do not face competition from other garlic producers. In addition, the company is selling its garlic in an innovative 5-piece-mesh packaging presentation without metals this season. "We are importing purple, white, and organic garlic," Rios said. This product diversity and focus on ecological packaging reinforces their commitment to sustainability, giving them a competitive advantage in the market.
The company's business model also extends to Europe and Brazil. "The ginger season is ending. Now the important thing is to highlight the quality of the Argentine garlic, which will arrive in excellent condition. We are ready to supply our current clients and reach new clients as well," Ríos stressed.
