The garlic production in the Philippines is forecasted to steadily decline from 5.83 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 4.7 thousand metric tons by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 4.98% from 2024 to 2025, and a similar trend continues until 2028. Comparing the year -on-year variations in recent years, the garlic sector has faced continuous reduction. Looking at a broader timeline, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the last four years showcases an average annual decline of around 5.25%. This falling trajectory indicates a persistent decrease in garlic production.
Future trends to watch for include changes in agricultural policies, climate impacts on farming, potential improvements in garlic farming technology, and shifts in market demand. Ensuring sustainable farming practices and exploring new agricultural techniques could be key to reversing or mitigating the declining trend in the coming years.
