Is eucalyptus leaf oil supply seasonal?
Supply is year-round, but there is a natural harvest rhythm. Eucalyptus leaves can be cut through most of the year in our growing regions, with an oil-yield peak in late summer to autumn and a dip in the cold months.
Seasonal Supply Pattern
| Period | Supply status |
|---|---|
| Late summer - autumn | Peak harvest; best yield and freshest oil |
| Winter | Reduced fresh-leaf intake; production runs from stored/processed stock |
| Spring | Normal production resumes; stock levels rebuilt |
| Demand peaks | Cold/flu season and festive season drive respiratory-product demand in autumn-winter |
- The oil is stable enough that stock produced at peak harvest is used to cover the low season
- We maintain buffer stock precisely so buyers do not experience a seasonal gap
- For contract buyers, a fixed monthly release schedule protects you from seasonal price swings
- Demand planning tip: place cough-drop / vapor-rub / diffuser oil orders 6-8 weeks before your cold-season launch
- Weather anomalies (prolonged drought or rain) can shift yields — buffer stock and plantation diversification reduce this risk
