Argentine garlic growers face 17% harvest loss, costs exceed prices

Heavy rains in Mendoza, Argentina, are estimated to cause up to 17% harvest losses for garlic, while growers report cultivation costs of US$8,000–11,000 per hectare against a farm-gate price of $300 per kilo, and warn of a lack of buyers. The situation signals a potential supply contraction and financial stress for producers, which could affect garlic export volumes and prices in the coming season.
