Lavender Organic Essential Oil is sourced from the finest organic Lavandula angustifolia flowers harvested in Bulgaria annually between June and July. This variety thrives in sandier, low-fertility soils, with ideal conditions being normal rainfall before summer followed by hot, dry weather during harvest. Over the past five years, Bulgaria’s lavender acreage has dropped drastically, from 22,000 hectares in 2020–21 to around 7,000–8,000 hectares in 2025, with many fields abandoned due to low prices.
This year’s production of Organic Lavender is expected to stabilize at more sustainable levels, though weather risks remain a factor. Market demand is steady, with some buyers stocking up early in anticipation of higher prices due to limited production. While old stocks remain, much of it is of poor quality and unsuitable for use, which may accelerate price increases if new crops face climate-related issues. Compared to last year, the yield is projected to be lower, though exact figures will be clearer after July.
Turmeric is a staple spice in India that is harvested annually from January through May. The Curcuma longa roots flourish in well-drained loamy soils, as well as in warm, humid conditions with temperatures between 20–30°C and consistent rainfall. This year’s Curcuma longa crop benefitted from stable rain and sunlight levels, producing a healthy yield that is about 10–15% higher than last year. However, despite favorable growing conditions, most of the available crop has already been booked by buyers, creating tightness in the market.
Demand for Turmeric Essential Oil remains strong and steady, and with supply already contracted, prices may firm up going into the next quarter. Compared to last year, yields remain consistent, though the improved growing season contributed to slightly better availability before pre-booking limited open supply.
Spikenard Essential Oil is steam distilled from the root of Nardostachys jatamansi, a rich aromatic plant that is wild harvested in Nepal between June and September. This crop grows best in rocky soils at high altitudes with cold weather conditions. Harvesting yields are expected to total around 500 kilograms this year, representing a decline compared to last year’s output. While growing conditions have been relatively normal, overall supply is tightening due to exceptional demand.
This heightened interest in Spikenard Oil is expected to create shortages in the coming quarter, as demand significantly outpaces available production. Market conditions are dynamic, with buyers advised to secure material early in September or October.
Steam distilled from organically grown Mentha spicata leaves in India, the harvest for Spearmint Organic Essential Oil takes place in late June and occurs only once per year. Nutrient-rich, well-drained loamy soils and summer temperatures between 30–40°C provide the best growing conditions for organic spearmint.
This year, unfavorable weather conditions have reduced yields by an estimated 20–30% compared to 2024. Farmers are also facing challenges with climatic variability, which has directly impacted crop availability. As a result, the market outlook is firm, with prices likely to rise due to diminished yields and tightening supply chains.
Grapeseed Organic Carrier Oil is cold pressed from the Vitis vinifera grown in South Africa’s Western Cape region. Harvest for the grape vine occur between late January and April, thriving in sandy or light loam soils with moderate porosity under mild to warm weather (20–30°C). This year’s crop was stable with no significant agronomic issues reported; however, organic certification remains a major challenge for suppliers. As a result, even though harvest volumes are sufficient, availability in the organic-certified segment is expected to tighten, creating potential shortages in the next quarter.
Demand remains steady for Organic Grapeseed Oil, but the certification complications are likely to influence pricing and lead times for bulk buyers. Market conditions are therefore cautious, with secure sourcing hinging less on yield and more on certification compliance.
