What is the production lead time for Citrus × limon oil orders?
Standard grade from buffer stock dispatches in 3-7 days. A fresh production batch takes 10-20 days including sourcing, processing, QC and documentation. After dispatch ModeTransitSea (FOB Shanghai / Qingdao)about 25-40 days to EU / USAir3-7 daysA firm dispatch date is given on the proforma and the buyer is updated through production.

What is your production capacity for this Citrus × limon oil?
Capacity is set by processing slots and single-cultivar raw-material supply rather than by a fixed monthly figure. G4S allocates runs across committed orders. PlanningBuffer stock of the standard grade is kept for short-notice orders.Large volumes are feasible but need lead-time planning.An LTA or annual framework reserves slots and sourcing for steady buyers.Give G4S your annual volume and the allocation and lead time are confirmed in writing.
What factors influence the price of this Citrus × limon oil?
Four factors drive the price, and G4S explains them on every quotation.Grade — the measured marker profile and how tightly it sits inside the release window.Raw material — single-cultivar peel cost and crop conditions in the sourcing season.Volume and pack size — larger fills cost less per kg to pack and handle.Certification and testing — organic, Halal/Kosher or third-party testing add cost.Currency and freight are quoted separately from the FOB price. An annual framework (LTA) is the practical way to stabilise price across a season.
