Latest Market Information January 19, 2026
Davana is primarily cultivated in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. It thrives in dry, warm climates with sandy loam soils and full sunlight. The fragrant herb is steam-distilled to produce a sweet, fruity, balsamic oil. Davana oil is extensively used in perfumery, flavourings, aromatherapy, and incense. The davana oil market remains extremely tight as stocks are low and last season yielded limited high-content oil. Demand is heavily focused towards premium-quality material. Though volumes available in the market have low content levels, making it difficult for buyers to source desirable oil.
Current supply is unable to meet the demand leading to a constant increase in price. Farmers have reduced sowing for the upcoming season, and fresh distillation is expected only from February to March. This will lead to supply challenges for several more months. With acreage shrinking and limited premium quality oil in the market prices are expected to remain firm.
