Latest Market Information January 8, 2023
There has been stable demand for the product. While the first half was better, buyers have been conservative in the second half concerned about the looming recession. The carryover stock from 2022 to 2023 is less than the quantities last year. The crop is also expected to be less in comparison to the previous cycle, though prices are expected to hold due to the synthetic menthol varieties coming in from China. With the price of natural cis-3-hexenol going down, the price of finished grade DMO has been increased. With food grain prices making corn more profitable the acreage of Mentha arvensis is expected to go down in northern parts of India from 2023.
