I posted this on the Market Gardener forum but thought the insight here would be valuable since it discusses garlic in particular.

I happened on a discussion on another forum about the cost of Local produce and the low prices of imported.

I battle this every day with my garlic.

Has anyone else discussed this?

It is ironic that I had this problem with a local marketer over my garlic. She said it won't sell because the Chinese can sell it cheaper. She was right. Even Christopher Ranch has sold out. I'd love your input.
