Freshdi Market Insight
Make smarter Garlic sourcing decisions with real market data
India (29.2%) and China (17.6%) lead the 284 Garlic suppliers, with Egypt at 6.3%, so sourcing options are concentrated in a few key regions. The typical range is USD 1,100 - 2,450 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 2,100 median, which means buyers should expect wide variation in pricing based on origin and quality. Buyer inquiries fell 45.6% to 74 in the last 30 days. Buyers request FOB more often than suppliers offer it — a 20.5 percentage point gap — so a FOB price must be explicitly asked for.

284 suppliers are actively offering Garlic on the platform, which creates a strong pool for buyers to compare pricing, certifications, and delivery terms. This level of supplier activity means competition is present, helping buyers secure better deals without having to rely on a single source. 555 active listings are currently available, covering a wide range of grades, packaging sizes, and origins. With such depth, buyers can quickly find a product that matches their specific needs—whether it's for culinary use, wholesale distribution, or export—without needing to start from scratch with a custom request. Suppliers come from 46 different countries, offering broad geographic diversity. This wide reach gives buyers flexibility to source based on cost, quality, or regional preferences, and reduces reliance on any one nation’s supply chain or export policies. Buyer inquiries dropped 45.6% to 74 in the last 30 days, indicating a significant slowdown in demand. While this may suggest reduced interest at the moment, it also means current suppliers are likely less busy, potentially offering more favorable terms or lead times to those who act quickly.

How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Garlic saw 46 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 31 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate than a month ago, so the catalog a buyer browses today includes more recent prices or pack sizes. Compare the listing dates when evaluating offers that look similar.
Is the market busy?
36 of the 284 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a mix of long-standing and new suppliers. Buyers here have access to both established sellers with a history of consistent listings and newer ones who are still building their presence. The established names have a longer track record, while new entries require more scrutiny before a first order. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Garlic listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 29 October 2026 - 555 active listings, 105 buyer requests, 58 source documents, and 407 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Garlic type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Garlic, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Demand-versus-supply differences in trade and payment term shares are stated in percentage points, and origin rows add buyer requests per listing. Each figure carries its market scope - global - beside the number rather than in a footnote.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.
