Lanling garlic sprouts maintain high prices amid nationwide market slump

Garlic sprout prices slumped across most producing regions this year, with many farmers unable to cover harvesting costs. As the "Vegetable Garden of Shandong", Lanling County's 328,000 mu garlic fields delivered stable field prices of 3.5–4.2 yuan per jin thanks to full industrial chain support.

Unique local soil and manual hand-picking guarantee crisp, long-storing garlic sprouts with 11-month refrigeration shelf life. The county launched 1.82 billion yuan agricultural credit, set 50 million yuan emergency purchase reserves and built 1,200 cold storage warehouses with 500 million jin storage capacity. Online livestream sales and cross-border logistics extend market reach to Southeast Asia and Belt and Road countries. Covered by full market supervision, merchants settle payments instantly without default risks.

Lanling's whole-industry-chain risk prevention model stabilizes farmers’income amid agricultural market fluctuations. Linyi will replicate the integrated planting, storage, finance and sales system for all characteristic crops countywide.
