One more year all the illusions, work and effort of our farmers in Spain have completely collapsed at the beginning of the garlic campaign in May and June; a big squall staying in the Iberian Peninsula for more than 20 days with heavy storms and large discharges of water has affected more than 80% of the crop and the quality of garlic, remaining with stained skins being a garlic that supermarkets do not want, explains Rafael Polo, of Polo Group Company.
“This season all farmers were very optimistic because it was one of the best seasons in the last 10 years, with a great quality, color and size of garlic, with improved profitability in prices, since the garlic market in China has relatively high prices compared to other seasons.
We have to act and make decisions
It is time to support our farmers and find solutions together to this adversity that greatly affects and endangers the cultivation of garlic in Spain,
“The problem is what do we do with all the stained garlic”, if we are not able to sell all that garlic, before the month of September where it is the time to put the garlic in the chamber, we could have a serious problem in the medium term because many of the garlic have entered water getting wet and being wet the main part of the bulb.
Explains Rafael Polo, of Polo Group Company. Our company POLO GROUP COMPANY, with a large portfolio of customers and being present in more than 40 countries, with a professional sales team in different parts of the world will do everything possible to help and market as much garlic as possible from our producers in Spain.
We have quality garlic
Through our “regular producers/suppliers”, which we are grateful for and which we work with throughout the year, we have the possibility of supplying all our consolidated customers with a regular service on a regular basis, establishing lines of business with a constant commitment to our customers and our associated producers.
In Spain, only 10% to 15% of the total garlic production that has been harvested in advance of the onset of the rains is available, which means a very considerable reduction in the commercialization of unblemished garlic.
Polo Group Company; We are present in different countries, we manage and support our producers in exports, we advise the documentary and logistic management, we carry out quality controls in origin obtaining the maximum satisfaction of our clients.
“In our company Polo Group Company, we work to find the best market solutions for our customers and producers, providing value in business management,” says Ceo Rafael Polo.
