CloveBud Oil Regional Price OverviewGet the latest insights on price movement and trend analysis of Clove Bud Oil in different regions across the world (Asia, Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa).

Clove bud oil, derived from the flower buds of the clove tree Eugenia caryophyllata, is highly valued for its aromatic and medicinal properties. In the industrial realm, clove bud oil finds extensive application in the fragrance and flavor industry, where its rich, spicy aroma enhances perfumes, soaps, and food products. Moreover, it serves as a natural antimicrobial and analgesic agent, making it a key ingredient in dental care products, pharmaceuticals, and herbal remedies.

However, the Asian countries struggled with the rising illegal auctions of trade-sensitive spices, which forced government officials to raise sanctions and restrictions over the open trade of these spices and essential oils. This limited movement of clove bud oil and other related essential oils dried up the inventories quickly amid the rising awareness of its benefits. This widened the supply and demand gap, and thus, the trading industries were pressured by excessive orders throughout the third and fourth quarters of 2023.

Similarly, other nations, such as Spain, North America, etc., suffered from limited agricultural harvest due to excessive rainfall and heat waves, decreasing the availability of raw materials and lowering the production rates of clove bud oil.

According to Procurement Resource, the price trend of Clove Bud Oil is estimated to showcase a gradual incline as the demand from the consumers is expected to rise, but the low rates of production will not be able to keep up with this rising interest of consumers.

In the first half of 2023, not much changed for Clove Bud Oil prices from the previous quarters as the prices were mostly firm. However, the continuous dip in prices did affect the market sentiments. A consistent decline in production yields, along with bearish demands, affected the profit margins considerably. Fluctuating across a similar line, Clove Bud Oil prices exhibited downward wavering patterns in both quarters of H1 2023. Overall, a stable market sentiment was observed in the global market.

According to Procurement Resource, with a gradual decline in clove crop production, a supply constraint can be experienced in the upcoming quarters. So, an incline in price trend of Clove Bud Oil is projected.

Clove Bud Oil prices are largely determined by the feedstock Clove prices as the oil is directly sourced from the Clove Buds. During the second half of the year 2022, the market experienced a fluctuating price situation as the major industrial consumers like cigarette factories have practiced bulk storage by procuring and storing goods that could easily last 2-3 years; a cyclic dip in demand was observed in the clove market affecting the price sentiments significantly. So, the Clove Bud Oil prices stayed low, swinging throughout the said period, with prices fluctuating in a narrow range.

However, due to the arrival of La Nina, the rainy season is still strong in Indonesia, causing adverse effects on many crops. This phenomenon affected the price trend of the clove bud oil in the international market and averaged 23 USD/kg.

After Indonesia, a significant amount of clove bud oil is exported from Madagascar, where the annual production crosses 12000 MT. Countries like India, owing to its preferential trade agreements, usually import from Madagascar to meet its requirements. However, this trade is limited due to varying international and distribution channels challenges.

Because of the ongoing rains in Indonesia, farmers were unable to dry their raw materials, causing the price of clove oil and its derivatives to be extremely volatile at the moment. The supply was restricted, and it was likely to stay so until the end of the current rainy season. In the final quarter of 2021, the price was recorded at 33 USD/kg. Due to excessive rains, the price of clove and its derivatives continues to rise.

Indonesia accounts for a substantial amount of clove output, which had been hampered by an extended wet season. These climatic conditions lowered oil output and shortened the harvest season for the crop.

As a result, all clove oils and derivatives were projected to increase in price in the coming months. Increased rains in Indonesia over the next three months were anticipated to put strain on agriculture productivity and yields. Average clove bud oil prices in the first three quarters in Indonesia were 33 USD/kg.

Clove and its derivatives had seen some incredibly cheap pricing in 2019, and customers were quickly becoming accustomed to it. Raw material supplies were plentiful, and processors with capacity to supply them competed vigorously for market dominance. These prices were thought to be unsustainable. The scales are now beginning to tip in the opposite direction.

Because of the raw material carryover into the wet season, it took a little longer than patchouli, but supplies were running out. As a result, prices rose and were expected to continue to rise over the next two to three months.

Many processors continued to recommend that it was a good time to buy then, but consumers were yearning for the low pricing of 2019. Realistically, the processors were hesitant to return to last year's cheap prices. Indonesia is the world's largest producer of clove oil, accounting for more than 70% of global output. The ideal price of cloves from farmers was 120,000 IDR/kg. Average clove bud oil prices (CBO) in 2020 were 31.5 USD/kg.

Toamasina, Madagascar; January 9, 2024:-- Yes, this is the current question all are deliberating. What would be the trend of Clove price in 2024 ? What time to enter the market ? What time is good to buy stock ? Is it good to keep stock and wait for good time to sell ? Million dollar questions to answer.

Those who already covered stock, and those who are waiting to cover stock - all are concerned with these questions. Can any one give a proper answer to these questions ? Can any one give a complete answer to these questions ? Practically not possible. What is possible is to give indications, projections, possible estimates and outlook based on fundamental and technical factors and reasons. I am also not trying to give an answer to this questions - but giving an analysis on fundamental factors and technical aspects to point out possible tracks and road map of price line possibilities.

Clove now a days has become an industrial commodity rather than a consumer commodity. Because of its nature as industrial commodity, - speculation is much more on it; and even market making and circular trading and price manipulation etc all very common in Clove market now a days. Fundamental factors, basic economic factors, like Supply and Demand and FOREX levels only cannot guide the price line, nor dictate the price line. From 2018-2019 onwards, we have seen it. Sometimes, speculation surpasses fundamental factors.

First, Supply and Demand - the basic concept that could determine price. Is Clove supply in short ? Is Demand for Clove surpasses the supply channel ? or Vice versa ? 2023-2024 Clove season started in July from Indonesia - with a bad crop, meaning crop shortage - we had seen price moving up from USD 8000 range to USD 9800 and even upto 10,500 per Mt during 2nd half of 2023. After August, all were eyeing at African origins - starting with Zanzibar and Comor and Tanzania mainland and then Madagascar. All trade participants believed when new crop season of 2023-2024 starts in Africa, price might cool down. And it happened; in end August and September 2023 Madagascar exporters sold futures at 8150 level to 8500 level ! Indonesia price came down from 10,500 to 9200 level !! Drastic fall happened. Comor and Zanzibar fully sold out below 9150 [8800 to 9150] !! And people expected further fall when Madagascar starts. And yes, in August and September, again came down to 8500 and then to 8300 and then to 8150 from Madagascar !! This is exactly the basic SUPPLY - DEMAND they working in the economic system.

What happened in Indonesia? When Indonesia price moved to 10500, all cigarette factories stopped their purchase. At high price, it is not worth even for the cigarette industry to buy clove, and use profitably in making cigarettes !! Instead they covered almost 4000 Mt from Africa at 8700 to 9150 levels ! So Indonesia sellers were stuck with 10,500 level ! What to do? Only option for them to reduce price. Then Indonesia price dipped to 9300 level. Today, while writing this blog, Indonesia LALPARI best quality is in offer at USD 9100.
