Earlier Report Observations

The volume of the fresh or chilled garlic market in Guatemala increased from 30 839 t in 2018 to a peak of 32 513 t in 2021. This growth was supported by ongoing government agricultural policies that provided price protection to farmers, stabilizing producer incomes and encouraging consistent domestic production.

After 2021, the market experienced a slight decline to 32 000 t by 2023. This modest contraction coincided with a reported global stagnation in garlic consumption in 2022, which affected international trade flows. Concurrently, the regulatory environment evolved with the 2023 approval of front-of-pack nutritional warning labels under the Healthy Food Promotion Law, which began to alter the information landscape for consumers.
