Latest Market Information January 17, 2025
Davana also known as Artemisia pallens is a miniature aromatic plant cultivated primarily in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Kerala. Oil from the plant is extracted from the flowers via steam distillation. The primary component of the oil is davanone. It has a sweet, fruity aroma with subtle woody and spicy notes.
Davana flourishes in mild winter when planted early in the season. Though it is averse to frost but grows well in light showers. If the flowering season receives heavy rainfall or witnesses high temperatures, the resulting crop has low oil yield. There is high demand for the oil in the market, but supply is limited, especially of highgrade quality.There are no stocks with farmers and only big producers have supply currently. however, oil with low davanone content is easier to access in the market. It is difficult to predict the yield for the 2025 season. heavy rainfall in davana growing areas has negatively impacted the supply. Further rain is predicted in the coming weeks, which could impact the harvest cycle.
