As the world's largest producer and exporter of organic garlic, China's organic garlic foreign trade will usher in a dual opportunity of quality upgrading and market expansion in 2025. Under the multiple drivers of upgrading health consumption, promoting trade facilitation, and deepening industrial transformation, its foreign trade pattern is undergoing profound changes, showing a clear trend of steady expansion of demand, optimization of product structure, and diversified market expansion. At the same time, it is also facing challenges of improving quality standards and fluctuating costs.
The sustained increase in international market demand is the core driving force for the growth of organic garlic flakes foreign trade in 2025. The popularization of global healthy eating concepts has made organic agricultural products the mainstream of consumption, and developed countries in Europe and America have increasingly favored natural and pesticide free foods, driving a year-on-year increase of 29% in China's organic garlic flakes exports to the European Union; The Southeast Asian market, with its demographic dividend and compatibility with food culture, has seen a 37% increase in import volume. The continued effectiveness of the RCEP agreement brings tariff reduction dividends, significantly enhancing the price competitiveness of Chinese organic garlic flakes in the ASEAN market. It is expected that the proportion of exports to ASEAN will exceed 40% by 2025. The rise of cross-border e-commerce has further amplified the potential demand, and new models such as live streaming sales have led to a growth rate of up to 45% in the export of frozen garlic, garlic powder and other products, becoming a new engine for foreign trade growth.
The high-end transformation of product structure is an important feature of the foreign trade trend in 2025. The proportion of traditional primary processed products continues to decline, and deep processed products have become the main export force. Currently, pre made seasonings such as garlic paste and garlic powder have accounted for 28% of exports, and it is expected that the proportion of deep processed products will exceed 45% by 2025. High value-added products such as freeze-dried garlic granules and allicin extract have performed outstandingly. The export unit price of freeze-dried garlic granules has reached 4.2 US dollars per kilogram, a premium of 320% compared to the initial processing of garlic slices. The annual growth rate of the allicin extract market has exceeded 60%. The branding construction has achieved significant results, with the export unit price of HACCP certified enterprises increasing by 26.5%. The locked fresh garlic meat products from major production areas such as Jinxiang in Shandong Province have already occupied 40% of the high-end market share, and the export unit price is expected to exceed 4200 US dollars per ton.
Overall, by 2025, China's organic garlic flakes foreign trade is in a critical stage of transitioning from scale expansion to quality and efficiency. With the support of industrial foundation advantages, product upgrading momentum, and policy dividends, its foreign trade prospects continue to improve. As long as enterprises adhere to the bottom line of quality, deepen technological innovation, and optimize global layout, they can continue to occupy an advantage in international market competition and promote China's organic garlic flakes foreign trade to move towards higher quality development.
