Garlic is a high-value export crop where cold-chain discipline directly protects quality, aroma and shelf life. Huasheng Fruits & Vegetables manages garlic export from harvest and curing through packing, cold storage and temperature-controlled shipping, so the garlic you import arrives firm, aromatic and ready for retail or processing.

Why is cold-chain handling critical for garlic?

Garlic is sensitive to temperature and humidity. Poor handling can cause sprouting, soft bulbs, mould and loss of the pungent flavour buyers expect. A disciplined cold chain slows these changes and keeps bulbs firm and dry.

Proper curing before cold storage, followed by controlled temperature and humidity, is what separates long-lasting export garlic from garlic that degrades quickly on the shelf.

What is the right temperature for garlic storage and shipping?

Garlic is best kept in cool, dry, well-ventilated conditions at a low but non-freezing temperature that slows sprouting while preserving quality. Relative humidity must be kept low to avoid moisture that encourages mould and rot.

Huasheng monitors these conditions through storage and monitors the container set point during transit so the garlic arrives in the same healthy state it was packed.

How does Huasheng keep garlic fresh from farm to port?

After harvest, garlic is cured to dry the skins, then graded and packed into mesh bags or export cartons. Packed garlic moves promptly into temperature-managed cold storage before loading.

By controlling curing, storage and transport under one export chain, we protect the firmness, colour and aroma that make Chinese garlic popular worldwide.

What garlic grades and packing options are available?

Chinese garlic is supplied in common size grades, with peeled, unpeeled, whole bulbs and further-processed forms available to buyer specification. Packing ranges from mesh bags to retail-ready cartons.

Let us know your target size, form and packing, and we will design a cold-chain programme to match your destination and shelf-life needs.
