In February 2026, the export volume to Indonesia reached 40000 tons, accounting for 21.82% of China's total garlic exports for that month
In March 2026, the export volume was 39000 tons, but it decreased by 20.73% year-on-year, indicating that the previous centralized procurement had overdrawn some of the demand
