Description
Bulgaria is home to the largest growing area in the world for lavender oil, producing each year between 100 MT-130 MT (depending mainly on climatic conditions).
Distilled from the plant flower spikes, lavender oil is one of the world's most traditional essential oils frequently used in fragrances and aromatherapy, despite little evidence proving its therapeutic values.
Ultra International B.V. offers the highest grade of Bulgarian lavender oil which boasts a lavandulyl acetate content on average around 4% (industry average is 2%). To achieve this we hand select the plants from certain growing partners in Bulgaria to ensure we are able to offer our clients this premium oil each season.
Harvesting usually begins during the first two weeks of July and the season lasts around 2 weeks.

Latest Market Information May 4, 2026
Bulgarian lavender oil is distilled from Lavandula angustifolia cultivated in central regions such as Starosel, where it is an important economic crop. As of March 2026, Bulgaria remains one of the world’s leading producers and exporters, with annual exports exceeding 380 MT, supplying key markets including the USA and Europe. The oil is valued for its clean floral-herbaceous profile with balanced sweetness and soft woody undertones, making it widely used in fragrance, personal care, and functional applications. Recent seasons have seen below average production due to weather-related challenges, resulting in tighter supply. However, the market is showing signs of recovery, with improved crop expectations over the next two harvest cycles. Overall, the Bulgarian lavender oil market in March 2026 is supply-constrained but stable, supported by strong global demand for natural ingredients and consistent export-driven growth.
