The global garlic market is navigating a period of rare stability in early June, holding firm despite notable increases in supply across India’s major production hubs. Recent weeks have seen a surge in arrivals at key mandis such as Rajkot, Jamnagar, and Madhya Pradesh, yet prices have displayed remarkable resilience. This steady trend can be attributed to a synchronized improvement in weather conditions and a consistent flow of high-quality garlic. Traders cite that expanded supplies have not triggered significant downward price pressure, thanks to balanced demand from both wholesale buyers and local consumption.
In Rajkot, garlic is trading in the $39–$40 per 20 kg range, with top-grade lots fetching up to $45—a pattern mirrored by Jamnagar and Madhya Pradesh rates. Meanwhile, Egyptian and Indian exports remain attractively priced in global markets, appealing to European and Middle Eastern buyers. Expert consensus projects the current demand-supply equilibrium will persist, though subtle fluctuations may arise in response to festival demand surges or regional consumption spikes. All signs point to continued stability in the garlic market, underpinned by robust arrivals, strong quality, and favorable weather. Click below to check the latest garlic offers directly.
