FROM THE FIELD

DRY-SEASON WATCH

BMKG reports intensified dry conditions across Sumatra, Java, and Sulawesi from June to August, driven by El Niño and the Australian Monsoon.

WHY IT MATTERS

Reduced rainfall is expected to reduce biomass yields and distillation efficiency, affecting Citronella, Patchouli, Vetiver, Clove, and Sugandh Mantri oil production through 2026–2027.

AGRI-ESSENCE RESPONSE

We are proactively strengthening supply resilience by securing raw materials, diversifying water sources, and monitoring fire risks ahead of the August dry season peak.

PATCHOULI

Prices have stagnated as collectors clear high-priced inventory, despite ongoing tight supply. New crop from March replanting is maturing, with fresh oil expected to enter the market late August–early September.

OUTLOOK: Positive

NUTMEG

Raw material remains abundant on the back of strong 2025 carryover, keeping prices low. However, El Niño-driven dryness threatens distillation processing despite plentiful raw fruit supply.

OUTLOOK: Positive
๐Ÿ“ WEST JAVA

CITRONELLA

Harvest is entering a critical window as newly replanted fields (from March) face an early dry season with only a brief rainfall window. Farmer attrition toward cash crops like coffee and palm oil has left limited capacity to scale supply.

OUTLOOK: Declining
