Kanthalloor garlic price reaches a new high

The price of Kanthalloor garlic, a traditional product from Anchunad village in Idukki, has touched a new high this season with a kg fetching ₹320 last week.

Bose N.M., a garlic farmer and small-scale vendor at Puthoor, near Kanthalloor, says this year garlic farmers are getting between ₹250 and ₹300 a kg.

“Compared to other regions, the size of garlic grown at Vattavada and Kanthalloor is much smaller. However, Kanthalloor garlic has a proper market due to its oil content and quality. Companies purchase Kanthalloor garlic primarily for collecting essence,“ says Mr. Bose.
