"buy 5 pounds of hair" "free garlic, take as much as you want" "henan has too much garlic to eat at once"
Recently, there have been reports on the internet of the opening of an open city in henan province in the country's well-known garlic-growing county, the “garine-smoking, abandoned by farmers”。

According to local official field verifications, rumours of “smoking” are exaggerated and distorted. It is understood that the canton garlic is mainly divided into two types of cropping, with garlic being the main source of revenue, and that garlic is of low value and a subsidiary agricultural product. This year, the whole of the national garlic production was abundant, some of the poorer garlic was sold at low prices, and a few farmers voluntarily abandoned harvests, not “global de-sale”。
Agricultural products are highly seasonal, marketed and volatile, and are prone to poor information and market miscalculation. How can production and marketing monitoring and early warning mechanisms be improved to avoid the risk of traffic being used to harm farmers
I'm going to be able to increase the yield of garlic
"screeching" is an essential part of the field
Li changjun, the head of the family farm in jia county, planted 40 acres of garlic this year, and he introduced the chinese voice reporter to the chinese county where an acre produces 4,000 to 5,000 pounds of garlic, compared to 300 to 500 pounds of garlic. Garlic and garlic are edible parts of agricultural products such as garlic and are important sources of income for farmers. It was a good harvest this year, but within expectations。
The li chang jun stated that there is a distinct competitive nature of nutrients during the growth of garlic, and that if the garlic is not extracted in time, its growth will continue to take up soil nutrients, directly resulting in a small head, lower quality and lower overall crop yields, so that “spill” is essentially a necessary part of field management。
According to zhang kaimin, president of the association of the garlic industry in zhuang county, this year's harvest of garlic is due mainly to two reasons: the expansion of the area under cultivation and the warm winter winter, the growth of garlic and the increase in production. In addition, local garlic cultivation has been delayed by more than 20 days owing to heavy rainfall, leading to a concentration of pre-cooked garlic, chinese and late-cooked garlic, and a significant increase in the concentration of “screeching” since last year。
Local response: caught in early may
The balance is about 340,000 tons, no demurrage
Reporter combs the country and abroad in 2026Agricultural marketsDynamically relevant, from 13 to 19 april, the price of garlic fell significantly, by 10. 0 per cent, and the director of the centre for agricultural development services of chuan county said that the volatility of niche agricultural products was closely linked to market supply。
In a presentation by xia-wei, there are three stages in the roll-out: the initial listing was late in march, with a low volume of $6 to $9 per pound; the medium-term was mid-april, with a high listing of $1. 5 to $2. 5 per pound; and the latter was late april to early may (end of period), with prices falling to $0. 5 to $1 per pound。
The garlic varieties grown in the counties are dominated by garlic, which is a subsidiary agricultural product in the process of growing and belongs to the “grain-based, garlic-backed” pattern. For garlic growers in the canton, however much garlic can be sold, the process of “grain” cannot be saved, and if it is not, it will have a direct impact on underground garlic production。
Thanks to the presentation, the total production of garlic in the canton is about 900,000 tons and the total production of garlic is about 76,000 tons. There are more than 1,000 garlic brokers throughout the county, ensuring that there are two to three purchase points in each village, directly from the field. Garlic has been fully harvested in or around the beginning of may, mainly through markets or storage. There are more than 290 storehouses with a storage capacity of 62,000 tons, and more than 20,000 tons are now out of stock, leaving some 340,000 tons remaining, without any problems of de-sale。

How can a farmer break false information
Early warning mechanisms for production and marketing should be established and industrial chains extended
Chan long, professor at the school of food and materials, nanjing university of finance and economics, stated that false information could not be less damaging to regional agricultural markets。
According to chanlong, while the national impact of such videos is limited, the negative impact is greater for farmers who rely in part on local markets. Some farmers are less able to identify authenticity and are prone to panic and fear that their products will not be sold or even consider not growing next year. Therefore, there is a need to strengthen rumour campaigns at different levels and to deliver real and timely information to growers through channels such as text messages, rural loudspeakers and so forth, so as to reveal the truth。
How can the bottom of agricultural products be fundamentally stabilized? Zhang jing, vice-researcher of the agricultural information institute of the chinese academy of agricultural sciences, believed that, on the one hand, it was necessary to guide farmers in the calculation of “comprehensive accounts” and, on the other hand, that the real way out was to establish early warning mechanisms for marketing and to extend industrial chains。
Zhang jing, since august 2024, the ministry of agriculture and rural development, together with the meteorological department and the major producing provinces, has begun issuing a balance sheet for the supply of and demand for garlic, providing detailed forecasting and timely warning of the supply and distribution situation. The key to achieving good quality prices, especially for niche agricultural products such as garlic, is to work from the industrial chain:
Improved seed competitiveness。
Increased research and development of specialized, processed garlic varieties and the development of value-added, deep-processed products such as garlic, garlic and garlic, extended industrial chains and enhanced price regulation capabilities。
Strengthen the development of regional public brands, export uniform quality standards, brand image and packaging labels, and promote quality pricing。
(c) transform short-term concentrated products into a year-round commodity supply through intelligent storage logistics and effective pricing initiatives。
