Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the Chilean garlic market volume expanded from 8 065 t to 15 729 t. In 2018, decreased exports to Mexico and increased imports of low-cost Chinese garlic raised domestic availability. The market grew further to 9 357 t in 2019, and then surged to 15 729 t in 2020.

The market volume dropped to 8 666 t in 2021 due to production problems from monoculture and soil degradation, coupled with high exports to Mexico of 15 400 t that reduced domestic supply. Recovery followed in 2022, reaching 12 424 t, aided by a sharp export decline to Mexico and quality improvements from increased cold hours. By 2023, the market reached 19 774 t, supported by favorable weather that enhanced quality and continued export reduction.

For 2024 and 2025, garlic imports into Chile rose to 10 628 t and 11 697 t respectively, while exports fluctuated. Chile's cultivated garlic area shrank by around 14% in 2024, and the country maintained its export position in Mexico thanks to less restrictive phytosanitary measures compared to competitors.
