Lemongrass Oil India

Limited availability due to farmers replacing lemongrass with more profitable crops such as wheat, rice and corn.  Limited carry overs.  Prices are firming but carryover stocks continue to impact pricing.

Despite a new harvest, prices remain depressed due to carryover stocks and waning post-pandemic demand. Quality varies, with high-quality material commanding a premium.

The lemongrass oil market is showing gradual improvement after hitting near-historic low prices in recent months. Production of the material has concluded, and prices are expected to rise gradually depending on demand. The next crop is scheduled for the end of February. If carryover material is still available by the time of distillation, producers are likely to scale back the quantity of new materials distilled.

Availability of lemongrass has decreased due to heavy rains in key producing regions.
