Is Sichuan pepper oil supply seasonal? When is harvest and fresh-supply window?
Yes, the raw spice is harvested once a year, but our stock holding and contract-farming program guarantee year-round oil supply.
Harvest & Supply Calendar
| Item | Timing |
|---|---|
| Green pepper (Qing Hua Jiao) harvest | June – August |
| Red pepper (Hong Hua Jiao) harvest | August – September |
| Hanyuan Tribute Pepper harvest | Late August – September |
| Fresh-oil production window | July – November (peak processing Aug–Oct) |
| Year-round supply | Maintained from sealed-drum inventory of the latest harvest |
| New-crop quoting | Opens April–June; contract farming secures Dao-di lots |
- 2025: 6.8 million mu planted; Shaanxi's SFE-CO2 processing (72% of regional capacity) extends the usable season
- Volatile-oil yield (5%–17%) peaks at full maturity — late-August pick gives the strongest aroma and amides
- We recommend booking new-crop lots 2–3 months ahead for Dao-di Hanyuan origin
