Current Situation Of Brazil Garlic

Garlic cultivation in Brazil is mainly concentrated in the southern states of Santa Catalina and Rio Grande, ranking third in production among South American countries, only behind Argentina and Chile. The cultivation and harvesting of Brazilian garlic are both done manually, so the production cost is relatively high. When choosing soil, garlic has high requirements for soil and needs to be planted in fertile and well drained areas.
In terms of seedling and planting, the garlic seeds in Brazil mainly come from countries such as Argentina, China, and France. Garlic is a crop planted in spring, so seedlings are raised in autumn and after winter cultivation, the seedlings are transplanted to the field in spring.
In terms of management and disease prevention, Brazilian garlic needs to pay attention to watering, fertilization, and spraying during its growth process, while also preventing and controlling common garlic diseases such as garlic leafhoppers and gray mold.
Although garlic produced in Brazil holds a certain market share in the South American region, the relatively low price of imported garlic makes it difficult to fully realize the market value of Brazilian garlic. However, in some high-end catering markets and specialty agricultural product markets, locally grown garlic in Brazil is still somewhat popular.
Overall, the garlic cultivation industry in Brazil is still in its early stages of development, but with the increasing advancement of technology and market demand, the garlic cultivation industry will have better development prospects
