At the initial stage of trading for cold‑stored garlic in the Jinxiang producing area, overall trading activity remains sluggish. There is a relatively large volume of garlic available for sale. Some sellers are taking the initiative to offload stocks, yet few purchasing merchants are present. Buyers with rigid demand only select suitable supplies for procurement. Grading‑eligible garlic moves at a decent pace. High‑quality old‑crop garlic accounts for a considerable share. Processing plants mostly draw on their own inventory. Overall shipment volume is low, market conditions stay stable, and individual prices edge slightly downward.
