In Poland, garlic prices demonstrate a range of values depending on the wholesale market. At the Warsaw Wholesale Food Market in Bronisze, domestic garlic is priced between EUR 0.21 and EUR 0.52 per piece, with no observed change.

Interestingly, the Krakow Wholesale Food Market reports a significant 73.1% increase in prices for bundled garlic (wiązka), ranging between EUR 4.19 and EUR 5.24, indicating a potential local demand surge or supply constraint.
The Wroclaw Wholesale Food Market showcases stable prices from EUR 0.42 to EUR 0.52 per head (główka), whereas the Kalisz Wholesale Market records imported garlic at EUR 2.93 per kilogram and domestic garlic between EUR 0.21 and EUR 0.42 per piece, with an 11.8% decrease in the latter.
Comparison with European Garlic Prices
When examining European prices, the Rungis Wholesale Market in Paris lists Spanish white garlic (60-80mm) and Argentine violet garlic at a steady range of EUR 4.50 to EUR 6.00 per kilogram, reflecting no price change. This price point positions European garlic as relatively more expensive than Polish offerings, particularly given the recent price reductions noted in the Polish market.
Moreover, organic garlic at the Rungis BIO Market commands premium prices, with French eco white garlic ranging from EUR 9.01 to EUR 12.00 per kilogram (a slight 0.4% increase) and EU eco white garlic between EUR 5.98 and EUR 7.30 per kilogram, marking a 3.8% decrease. This highlights a significant price differential between conventional and organic products in the European market.
Analysis: Trends and Price Changes
The Polish garlic market exhibits a mixture of stability and volatility. While many markets maintain steady prices, the notable decline in imported garlic prices at the Warsaw Wholesale Food Market in Bronisze suggests a temporary oversupply or decreased demand for imports.
Conversely, the sharp rise in bundled garlic prices at the Krakow Wholesale Food Market may indicate localized factors affecting supply or consumer preference shifts towards this format.
European markets, particularly in France, continue to showcase higher price points, possibly due to production costs, quality standards, and consumer willingness to pay more for specific varieties and organic certifications.
Short-Term Forecast
In the short term, garlic prices in Poland are expected to stabilize, with potential slight fluctuations depending on harvest volumes and import conditions. However, the ongoing price dynamics between domestic and imported garlic could continue to see shifts, contingent on international trade policies and local production levels.
European prices are likely to remain high, particularly for organic varieties, as demand for premium and certified organic products persists across the continent.
