Affected by many factors, such as high shipping prices and RMB appreciation, the export of a variety of agricultural products in this quarter is facing serious challenges. Mr. Wang Junjie is the sales manager of Jining Shangzhuo Food Co., Ltd. he shared the recent export market of garlic and onion with global fruit and vegetable website.

At present, the export season of new garlic has started. This year is a good harvest season for garlic in China. The yield and quality of garlic are relatively ideal, and the overall specification of garlic is relatively large, accounting for about 20% of 4.5 # - 5.0 #. When it comes to the garlic market forecast for the next few weeks, manager Wang said, "the garlic market is likely to remain at a high price from June to July. Because the price of garlic is greatly affected by the speculation factors, and the high shipping costs have brought some challenges, the later market is not good to predict. "

When it comes to sea freight, manager Wang added, "at present, the freight from Qingdao to Ouji port is about US $8500-9000 / container. If the shipping cost is apportioned to the goods, the shipping price per ton is basically US $360-400 / ton, and the price is still rising. In addition, the problem of delayed arrival of containers is very serious. Many ports along the way are very congested due to the shortage of workers and slow pick-up speed, and the arrival time is often delayed by 10-15 days. "

In terms of onion market, the ex factory price of peeled onion is as high as US $600 / ton, which is nearly US $200 / ton higher than that of the same period last year“ There are three main reasons for the high price. The first is the decrease of onion planting area in this season. On this basis, the recent domestic market demand is large, and the proportion of domestic sales has increased. Thirdly, the quality of onion is not good and the yield is low. The price of high quality goods has been raised. In addition to the high shipping costs and the price of the goods themselves, the recent appreciation of RMB has also weakened the enthusiasm of importers to a certain extent. Combined with several factors, there is almost no demand in the foreign market, and the order volume is very small. " Manager Wang said.

"At present, we only export a small amount of # 35-50 onion, and the ex factory price is about US $550 / T, which is higher than last year's level. Usually, poorly shaped onions are processed into frozen diced onions. Because frozen diced onions have a long shelf life and are less affected by market price fluctuations, some recent importers of restaurant channels will replace fresh onions with frozen diced onions. "

Jining Shangzhuo Food Co., Ltd. is a professional exporter of garlic, ginger and onion. The total export volume is about 2000 containers per year.
