The global food and energy crisis, the accession to the WTO of Ukraine, the cancellation of restriction on the export of agricultural products, all of these factors open a lot of doors for Ukraine. Over the past few years, the agrarian market of the country is growing steadily. Especially, the production of vegetables and fruits has a certain increase.
The mild climate, fertile soil, irrigation and rainfall make Ukraine have favorable conditions for growing fruits and vegetables. So, Ukraine and foreign investors show more and more interest in this sector. And garlic is one of the vegetables that are preferred to be grown in Ukraine.

There are some leading companies having cooperation with scientists, and they have developed new technology of garlic cultivation.
However, garlic market in Ukraine is not yet formed, and it is in its beginning stage. 95% of the main garlic producers are small-scale farmers and households, with an cultivation area below 1 hectare. The cultivation area of garlic in 10 hectares is considered to be major farming business, which requires the employment of specialized harvesters and other equipment. At the same time, domestic garlic production does not cover the demand, in 2014, according to UkrGosstat (State Statistic Service of Ukraine), Ukraine had imported more than 4,000 tons of fresh garlic from China. Most of the garlic on the shelves of Ukrainian supermarkets is of Asian origin.

IV. Chances for Ukraine to be A World Garlic Supplier

Garlic production in Ukraine has become significant now. The area planted with this vegetable in Ukraine is over 22 thousand hectares.

In the southern and western parts, the right time is the third decade of October; in the north and east parts, the right time is the second decade of September; in the central parts, the right time is the third decade of September-early October.
Ukraine is on the verge of large-scale integration into the world economy, including the agricultural products. The garlic production in Ukraine has significant export potential and investment attractiveness.
Prospects for Ukraine garlic in Europe market: the demand of Ukraine garlic in Europe is growing by leaps and bounds. In five years, according to experts, Ukraine can fully meet its garlic market, and in ten years can lead the European market, together with Spain.
