Garlic Central News

lol.org.ua reports on the high price of garlic in the Ukraine. In June the wholesale price was between USD 0.6 and 0.8 per kilo. The price has now reached between USD 1.4 and 2.0 per kilo.

This price increase is put down mainly to an increase in demand from the Ukrainian food industry, in particular the new canneries.

lol predicts that Ukraine could import more garlic from neighbours Poland and China, however they note that Chinese garlic is not considered suitable for some traditional Ukranian recipes.
