Product overview

Garlic for Spice, Food Processing and Ingredient Markets

Garlic is an important ingredient across food manufacturing, seasoning production, wholesale spice distribution and food service supply chains.

Nigerian garlic can be considered for sourcing enquiries involving fresh bulbs, peeled cloves and processed dried products. Each form has different handling, storage, packaging and quality requirements.

Fresh garlic buyers should specify bulb size, variety, appearance and acceptable condition. Buyers of dehydrated garlic should specify flakes, granules or powder, together with moisture, particle size and processing requirements.

Abmia coordinates sourcing discussions around the buyer's intended product form, target quantity, quality requirements, destination market and shipment arrangement.
