The claim about China garlic imports driving U.S. garlic growers out of business is inaccurate and based on outdated information.
"You can tell the difference by looking at the bottom. If the roots are all removed, leaving a concave, clean spot, it is Chinese. This is required by the Ag Dept. to prevent soilborne plant diseases from entering our country. If the roots are still there, as shown below, it is California garlic. The Garlic Growers Assoc. says not one single US grower cleans out the root end," Hayes wrote.for a Garlic Growers Association in Ontario, Canada, but none within the United States.
Hayes' post also claimed that only 40% of garlic is grown domestically, while 60% is imported from China, a substantial difference from a decade ago when all garlic sold in America was grown in California.Neither Hayes nor Westmoreland responded to a request for comment from USA TODAY.The source of the claim is an 11-year-old blogto Christopher Ranch's California Garlic Blog.
"If you want the most flavorful, fresh, healthy, safe and sustainable product, look for California-grown garlic in the supermarket, by checking for the Christopher Ranch label or selecting garlic bulbs that are off white in color, more heart shaped and have their roots intact," reads the post."Although California-grown garlic is proven to be a more flavorful, fresher and safer product, Chinese garlic is produced and exported to the U.S.
The author also claims"160 million pounds of Chinese garlic was into the U.S. in 2008 – more than all domestic producers combined."Garlic import data is old However, this is outdated information. The most up-to-date import records on vegetable commodities by country reflect a five-year span. Dried garlic imports from China have fallen in that time, according to thePer the data, China is the largest supplier of garlic to the U.S., but imports drastically declined beginning in 2018, the most complete data year. Annual imports of dried garlic fell to slightly more than 50 million pounds in 2018, from over 165 million pounds in 2016.
