Sharp Decline in Garlic Arrivals During November

Garlic is one of the important spice crops grown mostly in Rabi season country-wide. The sowing time varies in different regions. Garlic grows well in average temperature from 13oC to 24oC. During 2013-14, the area and production of garlic in India was 2.30 lakh ha and 12.52 lakh MT with an average yield of 5.43 t/ha. Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh are major garlic producing states. Presently, harvesting of Garlic of Kharif crop has been completed and sowing in Rabi season has started.

During November 2015, total arrival was recorded 27810 MT and Neemuch (MP), Bangalore (KA), Jalore (RJ), Piplya (MP) and Mandsaur (MP) have been top 5 mandis in respect of Garlic arrivals.  In these top 5 mandis, Piplya Mandi recorded lowest modal price of Rs 1600/qntl while Neemuch Mandi witnessed highest price of Rs 9600/qntl.    

During November 2014, total arrival of Garlic was 147149 MT and Jamnagar (GJ), Neemuch (MP), Chhabra (RJ), Mandsaur (MP) and Kota (RJ) were top 5 mandis in respect of arrivals. Total arrivals of 83639 MT in top 5 mandis.  Among these top 5 mandis, Kota had recorded lowest modal price of Rs 2000/qntl for this period whereas highest price of Rs 4000/qntl recorded in Mandsaur Mandi.  

From the above analysis, it can be seen that the total arrival in November 2015 is only 19% of the total arrival in November 2014. And, its effects are clearly visible on prices of the commodity as highest price during this year has reached more than double as compared to last year. 

WeatherSys predicts dry weather over plains of NW India and light to moderate rainfall in many parts of Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and some parts of West Bengal during next 24 hours.

During this Kharif Season, total area covered under Groundnut in Gujarat is about 12.96 lakh ha with the increase of about 71 thousand ha previous Kharif Season ( DOA, Gujarat, 07 th Sept. 2015 ).
