Commodity exporters from Lanling incur huge losses after consignments are rejected on quality issues, report Zhong Nan in Beijing and Zhao Ruixue in Jinan.
Garlic exporters in Lanling county of Shandong province have been urged to search for new buyers after South Korea's Agro-Fisheries Trade Corp rejected shipments from the region last month, even as the local government vowed to take legal action against the move.
About 2,200 metric tons of garlic shipped by exporters in Lanling to South Korea were returned in January because of quality issues, the Asian country claimed.
