As far as price, Chinese garlic is between $1.29 and $1.99 per/lb. in the store here. The USDA retail report last week shows a weighted average at $1.44 per pound retail. This time last year it was national weighted average at $2.19 retail.
So me wholesaling mine at $6/lb, that puts the retail even higher and much above the chinese stuff. We don't have organic stores, or hardly specialty or co-op stores to compare with for organic garlic. The handful are far away from me and focus on packaged goods and have terrible or non-exsistant produce sections.
