The Spanish season is set to begin in about a month, but year after year, production in Spain appears to be declining due to climate-related challenges, reports <a href=\"https:\/\/east-fruit.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EastFruit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201cAt this time of year, we usually import from Mexico, but current production is insufficient to cover the entire U.S. market,\u201d says Ricardo Hernandez of Florida-based Fresh Garlic Produce Corp.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">As a result, Fresh Garlic has had to diversify its sourcing, according to <a style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition-property: all; vertical-align: baseline; color: #33be86; border-radius: 10px; text-align: justify;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freshplaza.com\/latin-america\/article\/9736330\/egypt-steps-in-as-garlic-supplier-to-the-u-s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">freshplaza<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cThe shortage of supply from traditional garlic-producing countries has led us to increase our imports from Egypt, ensuring better availability during this tight supply window,\u201d the market expert notes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Fresh <strong>Garlic Produce Corp<\/strong>. is now in its second year of partnership with Mohamed Shaaban of Garlico Egypt, a garlic producer with more than 10 years of experience. Moreover, the slower sprouting rate of this particular garlic variety allows for a longer shelf life under controlled temperature conditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\">See also: <\/b><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/east-fruit.com\/en\/horticultural-business\/stories\/breaking-ground-how-alawwad-egypt-conquered-polands-sweet-potato-and-pepper-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Breaking Ground: How AlAwwad Egypt Conquered Poland\u2019s Sweet Potato and Pepper Market<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The outlook for the Egyptian garlic season is promising. The bulbs are well-developed and uniform. Additionally, their strong aroma and firmness make them ideal for the U.S. wholesale market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">South Florida is the primary destination for Fresh Garlic Produce Corp.\u2019s shipments, but the company also serves customers in New York and Texas, with plans to expand distribution in the near term.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">According to IndexBox, demand for garlic in the U.S. has been growing at an average annual rate of 2.6% over the past decade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cWe\u2019re seeing steady growth in our own orders as well as rising interest from new clients. We believe Egypt will continue to play an increasingly important role in meeting that demand,\u201d says Ricardo Hernandez.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">To meet growing demand, the company is aiming for strategic growth and is committed to providing consistent supply from diverse sources.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/east-fruit.com\/en\/news\/egyptian-garlic-gains-ground-in-u-s-market-amid-global-supply-challenges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EastFruit<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tThe use of the site materials is free if there is a direct and open for search engines hyperlink to a specific publication of the East-Fruit.com website.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Garlic supplies for U.S. consumers are becoming increasingly limited.
