GARLIC and ONION PROCESSING

INTRODUCTION

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is an erect herb, grown as an


annual from small bulbs called cloves.

It is a dry season crop which contributed P902.3M to


the local economy in 1997.

On account of trade liberalization, local garlic faces stiff


competition with lower-priced imports.

To counter this, the Department of Agriculture (DA) and


the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) actively
searched for relevant R&D interventions on garlic production,
post-harvest and marketing.
