Midu Garlic

Midu Garlic is a geographical indication certification trademark.

　　Farmers in Midu have long had the tradition of growing garlic. The garlic produced here is large in size, with allicin content more than three times higher than that of garlic grown on the plains, making it highly popular in both domestic and international markets. In recent years, the county has expanded its garlic planting area, promoted scientific and technological measures, and focused on developing garlic into a pillar industry for enriching the people and strengthening the county.

　　Midu has fully leveraged its geographical advantage as a distribution center for vegetable and agricultural products in western Yunnan, establishing 14 vegetable and agricultural product trading markets. At the same time, it actively encourages and supports local garlic traders to "upgrade and modernize," rapidly expanding the scale of garlic processing and export industries. This has fostered a dynamic development landscape where multiple sectors thrive competitively. Currently, the county has a garlic and agricultural product brokerage workforce of over 5,000 people, with more than 30,000 people employed in related industries. Through the promotion of technology, marketing initiatives, and the leadership of key enterprises, the market potential for garlic products has been significantly expanded. This has enabled the establishment of an integrated service chain covering garlic production, processing, and sales.

　　In 2006, the county planted 50,000 mu of garlic, yielding 100,000 tons with an average output value of 2,000 yuan per mu, bringing the total output value to over 100 million yuan. Over 90% of the produce was sold across the country and exported to regions and countries including Southeast Asia, South Asia, Europe, and the United States, earning substantial foreign exchange revenue for the nation.
