In recent years, the European Union, Japan, and the United States have repeatedly set up green barriers to China's exports of tea, vegetables, fruits, and livestock products, either increasing inspection items or batches; or simply “sealing†restrictions on imports. As a result, the amount of foreign exchange earned from exports of agricultural products in some places has plummeted, affecting both local agricultural production and farmers' income. In response, the Chinese government has actively guided various localities in adopting various countermeasures. On the one hand, they are committed to improving the quality of agricultural products and helping local governments to overcome green technical barriers and have achieved good results. The experience of Shandong Province, which had suffered major losses in the export of garlic and the ban on poultry products, deserves to be promoted. They increased agricultural product quality and safety to promote agricultural efficiency and increase farmers' income. Last year, the province’s agricultural and sideline products exports reached 5.228 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 17% over the previous year.

In recent years, garlic sold in pharmacies in the United States has increased by 163 percent, totaling 12.4 million U.S. dollars and priced at 6.75 U.S. dollars per bag. For product requirements, consumers in North America appear to be indifferent to “odorless†products. It is believed that the so-called "deodorization" removes the unique flavor of garlic and thus tolerates the "odor" of garlic. The demand for organic garlic is increasing. In addition, some varieties with specific characteristics, such as selenium-rich, high-zinc garlic, are very popular. China is the world's largest garlic producer and consumer, with a total cultivation area of ​​more than 500 million mu and a total output of more than 5 million tons of dried garlic.

In recent years, China's garlic exports have increased, but prices have fallen by more than 50%; the price of garlic in some developed countries' markets is only 5-15% of local products. The reason for this is, on the one hand, due to the disorderly competition among domestic businesses, and the more important reason is the lack of high-quality varieties suitable for export, and the need to strengthen the cultivation of new varieties of export-oriented garlic. In addition to its rich nutritional value, garlic is also considered to have strong anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects, which is related to the high content of selenium in garlic.
