Fluctuating raw material supply and prices pose a challenge for market players
Vetiver oil is extracted through the steam distillation of vetiver roots that are harvested from cultivated vetiver plants. The supply of vetiver roots depends on climatic conditions and farming yields in countries such as Haiti, Brazil and Indonesia that are major producers. Any extreme weather events, pest attacks or shortages in cultivated land area can negatively impact the supply of raw materials. This leads to price volatility in the vetiver oil market. Moreover, the root harvesting process is labor-intensive, driving up production costs. The unstable supply and pricing of vetiver roots act as a restraint on the growth projections of end-use industries.
