From an economic perspective, the export of salted garlic has created considerable foreign exchange income for China. From January to July 2025, China's cumulative export of garlic and its products reached 1.492 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 8.29%. As an important processing category of garlic, pickled garlic occupies a significant share in it. A large number of export orders have provided domestic pickled garlic production enterprises with sufficient capital flow, which can be invested in expanding production scale, introducing advanced equipment and technology research and development, and forming a virtuous economic cycle. Taking Shandong as an example, as one of the main production areas of garlic in China, many local pickled garlic processing enterprises actively explore international markets while meeting domestic market demand. Their products are exported to Southeast Asia, Europe, America and other regions, creating hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign exchange income for the local area every year, effectively promoting the development of the local economy.
The development of foreign trade in salted garlic has greatly promoted the coordinated development of upstream and downstream industries. Upstream, garlic growers benefit significantly. With the increasing demand for salted garlic in the international market, the purchase price of garlic is relatively stable and has an upward trend, which directly increases the income of growers. In order to meet export standards, growers pay more attention to scientific planting, adopt excellent varieties, reasonable fertilization, and green pest control measures, which not only increase the yield of garlic, but also improve the quality of garlic. In the middle reaches, the processing enterprises of salted garlic continue to develop and grow. Enterprises need to purchase a large amount of fresh garlic, salt, packaging materials and other materials, which promotes the development of related industries. At the same time, in order to improve production efficiency and product quality, enterprises have increased their investment in processing equipment, promoting the progress of industries such as machinery manufacturing and food packaging. Downstream, the logistics and transportation industry is also busier due to the foreign trade business of salted garlic. The development of cold chain logistics is particularly significant, and salted garlic needs to be transported and stored under suitable temperature and humidity conditions to ensure product quality. This has prompted logistics companies to continuously improve their cold chain facilities and enhance transportation service levels, not only ensuring the smooth export of salted garlic, but also providing convenience for the transportation of other perishable foods.
In the international market, Chinese garlic in brine has won a good reputation and enhanced the international image of China's agricultural products with its unique flavor and excellent quality. In the production process of garlic in brine in our country, we strictly follow international food hygiene and safety standards, from raw material procurement to processing and production, to packaging and transportation, every link is strictly controlled. For example, in terms of processing technology, continuous innovation and optimization are adopted, using advanced salt water pickling technology, which can not only preserve the original flavor and nutritional components of garlic, but also extend the shelf life of the product. At the same time, various flavors of garlic in brine products have been developed based on the taste preferences of consumers in different countries and regions, such as original flavor, spicy flavor, sweet and sour flavor, etc., to meet the diverse needs of the international market. This persistent pursuit of quality and precise grasp of market demand have made Chinese garlic in brine highly competitive in the international market, allowing the world to have a better understanding of China's high-quality agricultural products.
