Abstract
Annual U.S. garlic production has shown steady growth over the past few years. In 2023, national production reached 4.02 million cental weights (cwt). This figure reflects the importance of garlic to American agriculture, with California being a major producer. California’s favorable climate and soil conditions allow it to produce high-quality garlic. The U.S. garlic industry is becoming more efficient as farmers innovate and adopt sustainable agricultural practices. Supported by market stability and increasing demand, growth is expected to continue.
Garlic production volume
The annual production of garlic in the United States fluctuated between 1998 and 2023. In particular, it peaked at 7.4 million cental weights (cwt) in 1999 and has been on a downward trend since then. Production in 2023 will be 4.02 mcwt, just 54.3% of peak. This decline is due to multiple factors, including advances in agricultural technology and market fluctuations. Changes in demand for garlic are also impacting production volumes, taking into account consumer preferences and increasing health consciousness. California is the main production area, and climatic conditions are also a major factor. With the promotion of sustainable agriculture and the implementation of new marketing strategies, the U.S. garlic industry could see growth again.
The maximum is 25.6MCWT[2000] of US TOTAL, and the current value is about 78.7%
Garlic production (50 US states)
The annual garlic production in the United States is expected to fluctuate between 1998 and 2023. California in particular recorded its highest production volume of 7.4 million cental weights (cwt) in 1999, but production has since declined. Production in 2023 will be just 54.3% of peak levels. This decline is due to more efficient agricultural techniques, the effects of climate change, and changes in agricultural policies. California’s warm, dry climate is ideal for growing garlic, and it has long been known as a major producer of garlic. On the other hand, changes in market demand and intensifying competition are also affecting production volume. In the future, production may increase again with the promotion of sustainable agriculture and the introduction of new cultivation techniques. Garlic is widely used as a basic seasoning in cooking, so stability of demand is also an important factor for producers.
The maximum is the latest one, 5.87MCWT of CALIFORNIA
Garlic production (latest year, 50 US states)
Looking at annual garlic production in the United States, data for 2023 shows that the largest overall production will be in California at 4.02 million cental weights (cwt). This figure is consistent with both the average and the total, suggesting that California is the major producer overall. California has the perfect climate and soil conditions for garlic production, allowing it to produce a high-quality product. While trends over the past few years have shown stable production volumes, changes in market demand and advances in agricultural technology are having an impact. As sustainable agriculture becomes increasingly important, farmers are looking for more efficient cultivation methods. In addition, as consumers become more health conscious, demand for garlic also tends to remain stable. While the effects of climate change and changes in agricultural policies may impact production in the future, the U.S. garlic industry will continue to build on its strengths and strive for sustainable growth in response to market demands.
The maximum is 5.87MCWT of CALIFORNIA, the average is 1.6MCWT, and the total is 19.1MCWT
