Jinxiang grows garlic on about 600,000 mu, roughly 40,000 hectares, and its output alone accounts for a quarter of China's total production. The county's processed garlic products reach more than 170 countries and territories, and its annual export volume represents over 70% of China's garlic exports. The phrase "World garlic looks to China, China garlic looks to Jinxiang" is not marketing fluff; it is a statement of market reality.
The county has developed 105 processed garlic products across nine major categories, including garlic capsules, garlic polysaccharides, and fermented black garlic. The agricultural processing conversion rate has climbed to 82%. These are not vanity metrics. They represent a deliberate shift from selling raw commodities to capturing value at higher points along the production chain.
