According to Korean Agricultural Newspaper reporter Yoon Seung-Woo, all garlic purchased by the government in 2019 will have to be thrown out.
When the prices of garlic on Jeju Island fell, farmers demanded counter-measures from the government directly in the fields with garlic.
The largest amount of garlic consumed occurs in countries such as China, Korea and Italy. On average, each resident of these three countries eats up to 10 cloves of garlic daily.
Jeju Garlic Farmers have sharply criticized the measures taken by the Special Government in Jeju Province as measures regarding garlic. They said that mountain waste cannot be a realistic alternative, and they are not a countermeasure to the fact that the capital’s Jeju government pays $ 792,000 in funds to stabilize vegetable prices to buy from agricultural cooperatives. And they demanded to immediately prepare measures to stabilize the cultivation of Jeju garlic on the island.
