- Introduction: Why Garlic Processing Industry Is Growing
The global garlic processing industry is expanding rapidly due to increasing demand for:
Garlic powder in seasoning industry
Garlic paste for food service and sauces
Dehydrated garlic flakes for instant food
Processed garlic exports for supermarkets
Modern garlic processing is no longer manual. It relies on automatic garlic processing lines that include peeling, separating, slicing, drying, grinding, and packaging.
- What Is a Garlic Processing Plant?
A garlic processing plant is an integrated production system designed to process raw garlic into different final products such as:
🧄 Peeled garlic cloves
🧄 Garlic slices
🧄 Garlic flakes (dehydrated)
🧄 Garlic powder
🧄 Garlic paste / puree
Main equipment includes:
