In the 1990s, many garlic fields the company had in the Gilroy area were affected with [[Stromatinia cepivora|garlic white rot]], making further garlic production there impossible.<ref name="karst-resurgence"/>

In 1993, company production reached 100 million pounds of garlic.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> Facing competition from low priced garlic imported from China, company production fell significantly over the next decade.
