Quality Shandong normal white garlic (5.0-6.0cm) shipped from Qingdao to Karachi Port. Serving Pakistani importers with competitive pricing, reliable cold chain, and full documentation for smooth customs clearance.
Pakistan is one of the world's largest garlic consumers, with annual consumption estimated at over 250,000 tons. Garlic is a fundamental ingredient in Pakistani cuisine, essential in daily cooking from Karachi to Peshawar, featuring prominently in karahi, biryani, nihari, and countless traditional dishes. While Pakistan has domestic garlic cultivation in regions like Punjab and Sindh, local production covers only a fraction of total demand, making imports indispensable. Chinese garlic has become the leading import source, prized for its large bulb sizes, clean appearance, consistent supply, and competitive pricing that suits Pakistan's price-sensitive market. Pakistani buyers predominantly prefer Normal White Garlic in the 5.0-6.0cm range, which offers an excellent balance of quality and cost for both wholesale and retail channels. Karachi Port, the country's largest seaport, handles the majority of garlic imports, with some volume also moving through Port Qasim. The shipping route from Qingdao to Karachi takes approximately 18-22 days, enabling efficient inventory management. Demand surges significantly during Ramadan and Eid festivities, when importers typically build inventory well in advance to capture peak season sales.
