I've seen a lot of Chinese garlic stuff in our shops and markets as well. The apperance and taste are on a lower side than our local varieties produced in Belarus. But Chinese prices beat ours. That's the only reason why our people buy Chinese products.
Generally speaking agriculture of Belarus produce everything for our needs but Tropic fruits. Many friends of mine used to come to Belarus from Baltic countries and Poland (all now in EU) to buy our vegetables because of mostly organically grown technologies, an exceptional taste well-known from Soviet times and much lower prices. Their grocery stores now full of tasteful vegetable products mainly from Holland and China. They failed to support their own farmers like France always do and now they forced to go abroad to find tasty vegetables...
