  • Why is garlic production low in Ethiopia?
  • However, today’s garlic production in Ethiopia is low because of different factors like climate, soil, microbiome and cultural practices. While, mainly due to genotype variation, garlic yield is constrained. Thus, gathering and reviewing the impact of genotypes on phenology, growth, yield, and yield traits is important to summarize and organize.‌
  • How much garlic does Ethiopia produce in 2021?
  • In the meher season of 2020–2021 (CSA, 2021), Ethiopia produces 1.14mn quintals of garlic, which are largely distributed in various market channels beyond household consumption. As a cash crop in many regions of the country, boosting its productivity per unit area and output would allow farmers to earn good returns.‌
  • Is garlic a viable crop in Ethiopia?
  • Garlic is one of the top medicinal plants due to its high concentration of sulfur and other compounds, which contribute to treating many human diseases. Besides, it is also a vitally important crop for seasoning food around the world. Consequently, garlic has been an economically viable crop worldwide, including in Ethiopia.‌
  • Does genotype affect garlic yield in Ethiopia?
  • Gebre [ 114] indicated that garlic yield was determined by different factors in Ethiopia. Besides, the influence of garlic yield varies from place to place. However, in Ethiopia, no one has reviewed and summarized the influence of garlic genotype on phenology, growth, yield, and yield traits.‌
  • Why is garlic so important in Ethiopia?
  • Economically, the growing demand for garlic for medical uses, flavours, and cooking gives many farmers the potential to improve domestic production and marketing in Ethiopia (CSA, 2021).‌
  • How many quintals does Ethiopian garlic produce per hectare?
  • In terms of productivity, Ethiopian garlic farmers got a yield of 89.98 quintals per hectare in the 2019 meher season (CSA, 2019). Meher is the main crop season in Ethiopia. It encompasses crops harvested between September and February. While crops harvested between March and August are considered part of the Belg season.
