Indonesia is one of the world's largest importers of garlic, with an average volume of 509,621 tons per year.
The surge in prices is due to limited domestic garlic stocks resulting from low commodity imports. After investigation, the low import realization happened not because of the high international garlic prices and slow issuance of import permits. Regarding the import of garlic, the government has set a quota of 645,025 tons for the commodity's import in 2024. Referring to the Ministry of Trade's data, as of May 12, 2024, the Ministry of Trade issued garlic import permits with a total volume of 342,127 tons. The actual imports have only reached 122,583 tons, which is 35.8 percent of the issued import permits and 19.31 percent of the total import allocation.
"That actually shouldn't happen. New garlic importers who have obtained the Import Approval should have the capacity to access and bring in the commodity from China," he said. "The government cannot continue to provide Import Permits , while the entrepreneurs themselves arbitrarily determine when basic foodstuffs enter Indonesia. This can harm the community, as delays in imports will cause related food prices to increase domestically," said Edy.
