Bergamot Oil BF
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....

para Cymene
October 22, 2021Prices from China have started to firm up on all GT derivatives. In early August, prices had dropped a bit and remained stable, though they soon began to rise again near the end of the same month. Since China’s Mid Autumn Festival, prices have continued to rise steadily, culminating in a large price increase on most items post-Golden Week. Certain items have gone up nearly 10% in price over just 7 days, which has broadly been attributed to the sudden restrictions placed upon Chinese power plants. Since October 5th, all factories in China have had to reduce their consumption of power, which affects their maximum production capacity. Materials out of China are used to produce all manner of other resources including steel, coal, and logistical supplies....
