Welcome to the Australian Garlic Industry Association (AGIA) website.

The AGIA was incorporated in 1991 and has since devoted itself to the promotion and development of the Australian garlic industry.  The introduction of cheap, bleached imported garlic into Australia in the mid 1990’s saw a massive decline in local production. Many farmers moved out of garlic production at the time as they could not compete with the flood of cheap  imports.

Today, the Australian garlic industry is resurgent to consumer requests and becoming stronger as consumers return to the fresh, tasty, aromatic garlic grown throughout Australia.

The AGIA is a non profit organization run by a board of elected growers. Our aim is to further strengthen the local garlic industry and to encourage investment and grower opportunities.

We encourage all garlic growers, wholesalers, producers etc to join the AGIA to help us, collectively, to develop this productive, visionary industry. With strong industry support the AGIA can seek further essential R&D, lobby Government support for our local industry and develop new market opportunities locally and overseas.
