"Egypt has overtaken Spain in the garlic market"

The grower says, "The global garlic market is currently highly competitive, with the main players being China, India, Spain, and Egypt. While China remains the world's leading supplier, Egypt is gaining ground this season. We face direct competition from India and Spain, which usually enter the market around the same time as us. However, due to weather problems and a reduction in crops in Spain, Egypt has overtaken Spain in the garlic market. The high quality of the harvest and Egypt's reliable export capabilities strengthen its presence on the world's major markets."

Key global markets are diverse and showing strong demand, Anthony adds. "In the European Union, importers are increasingly sourcing from Egypt to offset national deficits. North America continues to show a stable demand for Egyptian garlic, fueled by health-conscious consumer trends. Latin American markets also remain active, and Australia has shown a growing interest in fresh and semi-processed garlic from Egypt. It is important to note that the quality and size of Egyptian garlic this season are particularly attractive to buyers in all these regions - significantly better than in previous years. This plays an important role in stimulating demand and boosting buyers' confidence in Egyptian supply." "Despite the competitive landscape, we are well positioned to increase our market share in the future.

 The outlook remains optimistic as long as we continue supplying high-quality, good-sized garlic that meets the expectations of a wide range of markets," Anthony concludes.
