Garlic Suppliers

Find garlic suppliers for your specification, preferred origin and buying volume.

Garlic is sold by growers, packers who clean and grade the bulbs, and traders who aggregate from multiple farms. Your choice depends on whether you need a single farm's crop, a consistent supply from one region, or a consolidated shipment from a packer.

Specify whether you need fresh garlic bulbs, peeled cloves, or a processed form, and state the quantity, packaging, and delivery country. We can help you through OpenCommo’s network of 70,000+ suppliers across commodities.

What to look for when sourcing garlic

Product specification

Fresh garlic and peeled cloves are different products with different shelf lives and supply chains. Start by defining the exact form and intended use, such as culinary fresh market or processing.

Form & grade

Specify whether you need whole bulbs, peeled cloves, or a minimum clove size and peel condition. Agree on the bulb diameter or weight class.

Physical condition

Set tolerances for defects like sprouting, mold, bruising, or decay. Agree on moisture content and how firm the cloves must be.

Processing & packaging

For peeled garlic, confirm the peeling and washing process, any cold storage before packing, and the pack size, from consumer bags to bulk cartons.

Quality acceptance

Beyond visual inspection, garlic quality is about firmness, pungency, and absence of sprouting. Agree on how the quality of the shipment will be evaluated.

Inspection criteria
Specify acceptable limits for soft bulbs, loose skins, and foreign material. For peeled cloves, check color uniformity and absence of blemishes.
Sampling & testing
Outline how samples will be taken from the shipment. Consider testing for moisture and pungency at the receiving point.
Acceptance & claims
Define the method and timeline for inspection after arrival. Agree on a process for rejecting or claiming compensation for defective product.

Origin requirements

Origin can influence flavor, pungency, and shelf life. Do not assume one country's garlic is interchangeable with another's; define your preferences clearly.

Geographic preference

Specify the country or region of origin. Ask about the growing conditions, harvest season, and whether the supplier sources from a single area.

Crop & availability

Ask about the harvest date, how the garlic has been stored, and whether it is available now or from a specific upcoming crop.

Substitution flexibility

Define which origins are acceptable substitutes if your first choice is unavailable. For example, can the supplier switch from white to purple garlic?

Commercial terms

Garlic prices fluctuate with harvests and storage seasons. Compare offers on the same basis: pack size, grade, and whether the price includes cold storage before dispatch.

Price & unit: Quotes should be per carton, bag, or kilogram, and should state whether the price is for fresh or processed garlic. Clarify if the price is FOB or delivered.
Packaging & load: Confirm the exact packaging type (e.g., mesh bags, cartons) and weight per pack. For container loads, align on the number of cartons or bags per pallet.
Order terms: Match the shipment period, payment terms, and inventory release schedule, especially if the garlic is stored at origin.

Documentation & compliance

Documentation must match the specific garlic shipment. Verify that phytosanitary certificates and other papers cover the exact product and quantities you are buying.

Shipment documents: Check the invoice, packing list, and phytosanitary certificate for consistent lot numbers, pack counts, and botanical name.
Residue & safety: Ask about pesticide residue limits and compliance with destination country regulations. Garments for processing may have different requirements than fresh table garlic.
Destination rules: For imports, confirm the import permit and inspection requirements for the destination country. For peeled garlic, check if specific processing standards are required.

Supplier capability

A supplier's ability to handle volume and maintain quality through the season is critical. Establish who is responsible for cold storage and who handles quality control.

Post-harvest handling
Confirm how the garlic is cured, dried, and stored to maintain shelf life. Ask about cold storage capacity and temperature management.
Volume & supply
Ask about the supplier's maximum capacity and how they source during the off-season. Can they sustain your required volume for the contract period?
Order execution
Clarify minimum order sizes, sample availability, and who arranges shipping logistics and export documentation.
