Since China’s accession to the WTO, the garlic export market has become larger and larger. According to data, my country’s garlic export market has developed from the Asian (mainly Southeast Asian) market in the 1980s to include the late 1990s. There are 111 countries and regions in Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America, North America and Oceania, with 3 new countries added every year. Among them, 84 countries and regions are members of the WTO, accounting for 75.68%. Since 1981, my country's "exports of garlic products have surged at a rate of 11,570 tons per year. Among them, 9 countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, United Arab Emirates, Japan, Brazil, Colombia, and the Netherlands are the main importing countries. In 1999, 210,000 tons of garlic were imported from China, accounting for 72.42% of my country's garlic exports that year. Japan's imports of garlic products from my country have increased sharply, accounting for 97% of Japan's total imports of garlic products. my country's garlic exports have a greater ability to earn foreign exchange. Statistical analysis of my country's garlic export data from 1981 to 1999 provided by the General Administration of Customs of China shows that my country's garlic export volume and foreign exchange earnings have increased year by year in the past 19 years, with an average annual increase of 11,570 tons and 4.78 million US dollars respectively. In recent years, export earnings have been even more impressive. Garlic has become one of the important agricultural and sideline products for my country to earn foreign exchange from exports. Although China has become the world's largest garlic producer and exporter, the potential for export earnings and the international market is still huge and needs to be explored and developed urgently. .

In recent years, under the correct leadership of the county party committee and the county government, our county has actively implemented the strategy of "enriching the county with garlic". The area has rapidly increased to 550,000 acres this year, with a total output of 600,000 tons and an output value of 600,000 tons. With an area of ??more than 2.3 billion yuan, our county has become the second largest county in the country in terms of area and output. However, our county’s garlic exports are far behind those of Jinxiang County in Shandong Province and Sheyang County in Jiangsu Province, and its ability to earn foreign exchange from exports is poor. , there are fewer companies that have the right to import and export garlic, there are few direct exports, there are many indirect exports, and the profits are low. Therefore, in order to do a good job in garlic export in our county, I think we should start from the following aspects.

1. Further improve the quality of garlic. Garlic export customs inspection regulations are strict. Once pesticide residues and heavy metal element residues exceed the standards, they will not be exported. Therefore, in recent years, our county party committee and county government have also issued pollution-free garlic in Qixian. Standardized production implementation plan, on April 4, 2004, the Provincial Department of Agriculture identified 60,000 acres of pollution-free garlic production areas in towns such as Gegang Town, Fuji Town, Peicundian Township, and Xizhai Township, where garlic cultivation is relatively concentrated, which provided a smooth development for garlic. This has laid the foundation for export sales. At the same time, our county has also jointly developed selenium-rich garlic with Wuhan University, which has anti-cancer, anti-cancer, maintenance of cardiovascular health and other health functions, and is favored by domestic and foreign consumers. In order to expand exports and strengthen our county The competitiveness of garlic in the international market is of great significance. In addition, in terms of harmless management of garlic, our county has also introduced and trial-grown detoxified garlic, promoted pollution-free fertilization technology, and increased the application of organic fertilizers. Formulated fertilization ensures that the nitrate content of garlic does not exceed the standard. In terms of pest control, we advocate the promotion of physical control and biological control, and strictly prohibit the use of highly toxic, highly toxic, and high-residue organophosphorus pesticides and "three-level" pesticides on garlic to ensure that we County garlic quality.

2. Strengthen management during the garlic harvest period to ensure quality. First, do a good job in cleaning and drying the garlic after harvesting. Second, do a good job in refrigeration and preservation. At present, our county has built the largest garlic irradiation factory in eastern Henan; more than 500 garlic fresh-keeping cold storages have been built, with an annual storage capacity of 150,000 tons. The third is to do a good job in the deep processing of garlic and achieve new breakthroughs in adding value to garlic processing. Transform "agricultural garlic" into "industrial garlic" and transform resource advantages into characteristic advantages and commodity advantages. From rough processing with low added value such as processing of garlic slices, garlic powder, and garlic granules to deep processing of garlic oil, allicin, garlic wine, garlic medicine, etc., on the basis of Kaifeng Lianfu Food Co., Ltd. and Zhongnong Dachaolai Company , and then introduce and build support for a number of large-scale garlic deep-processing enterprises, lengthen the garlic industry chain, increase the added value of garlic, expand export earnings, improve export tax rebates, and increase farmers' income. The fourth is to expand publicity, build momentum, and enhance the popularity of garlic in our county. Although in April 2001, our county participated in the first national garlic festival, which further promoted Qixian’s garlic and garlic products. In August, our county held the annual working meeting of the National Garlic Committee. However, the popularity of garlic in our county is not high enough, and we need to strengthen publicity and promotion.

The first is to establish the Qixian Agricultural and Sideline Products Information Center as soon as possible, and use various publicity media such as the Internet to release the garlic production situation in Qixian to domestic and foreign countries; the second is to establish the Qixian Agricultural and Sideline Products Information Center at the entrance and exit of the Kaishang Expressway connection line along the 106 National Highway in our county. Set up huge garlic promotional signs; the third is to learn from Jinxiang’s online marketing, register an English website with the International Domain Name Management Organization, find sales and foreign businessmen through e-mail, and promote export earnings (90% of Jinxiang County’s garlic exports are through online and Foreign businessmen get in touch and conclude transactions). The fourth is to hold our county’s first Garlic Festival, inviting domestic and foreign experts, merchants, and business owners to participate to further promote our county’s garlic and garlic products, better promote the smooth export sales of our county’s garlic, and achieve foreign exchange earnings from exports. The fifth is to build a brand. In 2001, Qixian Garlic applied to register the "Jinqi" brand trademark with the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, obtained barcode certification and usage rights, and obtained a pass to enter the international market. In 2002, Qixian "Jinqi" brand garlic was reviewed and approved by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, becoming the first garlic product in the country to obtain the certification of origin mark. In early 2003, Qixian garlic was awarded the title of "Chinese Garlic King" by the China Fruit and Vegetable Experts Committee. From 2003 to 2006, it was awarded the title of "Henan Province Famous Brand Agricultural Products" by the relevant provincial departments. It has laid a solid foundation for "Jinqi" brand garlic to further occupy the international market. Sixth, formulate preferential policies and measures to create a relaxed environment. First of all, law enforcement departments such as industry and commerce and taxation should provide good services to garlic export enterprises that earn foreign exchange, relax policies, and let development go; secondly, transportation, urban construction, urban management and other departments should issue preferential cards and passes to foreign merchants and vehicles and establish "green channels." , there are truly no red lights in Qixian County.
