Proper storage is what turns a good garlic harvest into a dependable year-round export programme. Because garlic must remain dry, firm and free of sprouting and mould from harvest to delivery, storage discipline directly protects flavour, shelf life and buyer value. China is the world's largest garlic producer and exporter, and Huasheng Fruits & Vegetables manages curing, storage and cold-chain handling for fresh garlic supplied to overseas markets.

Why import garlic from China?

China's dominant position in garlic production gives importers reliable volume, competitive pricing and a broad choice of varieties and size grades that is hard to match from other origins. Efficient curing, storage and logistics keep flavour and quality intact across the season.

Well-managed storage extends the supply window, so buyers can source fresh garlic beyond the immediate harvest period with consistent quality.

Why is storage so important for garlic?

Garlic that is harvested, cured and stored correctly stays dry, firm and aromatic, with minimal sprouting, mould or moisture damage. Poor storage leads to soft cloves, sprouting and loss of pungency, which undermines both flavour and shelf life.

Controlled temperature, low humidity and good ventilation slow these changes, protecting the product during the long gap between harvest and shipment.

What does good garlic storage look like?

Garlic is first cured to dry the outer skins, then held in ventilated, temperature-managed stores at low humidity. Mesh-bag or crate storage with good air flow keeps bulbs dry and prevents condensation, the main cause of mould.

For export, stored garlic is sorted by variety and size, then packed into ventilated mesh bags or cartons and shipped under temperature management to keep it in the same dry, firm condition.

What quality standards does Huasheng apply?

Garlic is selected for firm, plump, well-shaped bulbs with dry, intact skins and a clean, fresh appearance, graded by size into consistent classes. Sprouted, soft or damaged bulbs are removed during sorting so every export lot is uniform and saleable.

Consistent storage and grading mean the garlic you receive is dry, firm and ready for retail, food service or processing.

Yes - we offer flexible size grades, white or purple varieties, mesh bag or carton packing, and trial to steady order volumes. A clear specification sheet in the contract keeps every shipment consistent.
