About Company

GarlicX is B2B ecommerce app that is specialized in production and exportation of garlic. As our primary product we work hand in hand with local garlic farmers. After unprecedented market instabilities faced by garlic producers in the region most specifically due to restrictions brought about by COVID-19, we decided to take measures to boost marketing of garlic by harnessing the power of emerging technologies. Our business model is based on live streaming where we showcase products live from the farms to ensure that our customers are buying what they truly know by booking harvest, participating in live harvesting and live farmer markets.
