Overview: Lemongrass oil is extracted through steam distillation of fresh or partly dried leaves of Cymbopogon flexuosus. India is one of the largest producers of lemongrass oil followed by Guatemala. Though the lemongrass is grown in several parts of India, the plants grown in the state of Orissa are regarded as top quality. The lemongrass plant requires very little care, it is suitable for preventing land erosion and can be grown as an intercrop. One hectare of land can give up to 50 tons of lemongrass and the extraction ratio is 0.6 to 1%. The lemongrass oil contains a high amount of Citral which gives it the distinct lemon flavour and citrusy aroma.The cost of production is low and hence it is an affordable range essential oil. However, the prices are known for sharp fluctuations in case of floods in the cultivating regions. The utilisation of unused tribal lands in the north eastern part of India for the cultivation of lemongrass is positively changing the socio economic conditions in the region and we are happy to be an indirect part of that movement.
We have a long association with small farmers in the producing region, and lemongrass oil is one of the products which we are highly competitive in pricing for bulk purchases. We majorly supply the Indian origin oil but can also supply the Guatemala origin CYMBOPOGON CITRATUS on request.
