Jasmin Absolute Grandiflorum

The season for jasmine grandiflorum in India was delayed by 3-4 weeks this year, mainly due to disruptive climate conditions that occurred from January to April 2024. Rainfall was nonexistent during this period, and temperatures increased significantly at-source. As a result, many farmers were unable to maintain their jasmine fields at the same rate as previous years, with common practices such as the application of fertilizer being delayed well into the season. Rainfall has since normalized in India, though overall flower productivity has declined by approximately 15% this year due to the delays. Moving forward, prices for jasmine grandiflorum have the potential to increase as a result of this decline in productivity, as well as the increasing wages for laborers across all jasmine cultivation regions.
