Bergamot Oil B.F.
October 25, 2021It’s a little early to have a clear forecast on the forthcoming citrus season out of Italy, though the general consensus seems to be that crop volumes will be reduced as compared to last year. This is mainly due to the unfavorable climate conditions that occurred during the early post-flowering stage of bergamot, with temperatures in the region of Syracuse hitting nearly 120 F (48.8 C). These temperatures caused a significant loss of fruit, meaning that the harvest is expected to be delayed by at least 2-3 weeks....

Basil Oil Vietnam
September 24, 2021In Vietnam, farmers are slowly transitioning away from basil and towards the cultivation of bananas, which have a higher profit margin. Basil farmers can typically get up to 3 cuts per year, with the last one having the best oil yields. Due to changing weather patterns and COVID-19 issues, Vietnamese basil farmers only had 2 crops this year: one in June and one in September.
