What factors influence the price of this perilla leaf oil?
The six main price drivers are chemotype, perillaldehyde content, raw-material provenance, extraction method, certification, and order volume.
Price Drivers
| Factor | Impact |
|---|---|
| Chemotype | PA type (perillaldehyde-dominant) commands a premium over PK/other types |
| Perillaldehyde content | Higher assay = higher price; ≥ 98% purified perillaldehyde is a separate product tier |
| Raw-material provenance | Fresh Dao-di purple leaves (Heilongjiang/Inner Mongolia/Gansu) cost more than mixed material |
| Extraction method | SFE-CO2 and molecular distillation cost more than single-stage steam distillation |
| Certification | ISO 22000, EC 1831/2003, Halal/Kosher, organic add 5–20% |
| Quantity & contract | Volume discounts from 25 kg; annual contracts stabilize pricing |
- Market context: China perillaldehyde market reached ¥870 million in 2024; red perilla leaf oil market ¥1.28 billion in 2025 — strong demand keeps premium grades firm
- Perilla exports skew to Japan (48.6%), Korea (26.3%), and EU (15.9%) — these markets pay a premium for traceable PA-type oil
- Ask for a quotation with perillaldehyde assay, method, and certificate package to get the exact grade
