What is the production lead time for this sweet orange oil?
Sweet orange oil is produced continuously during the harvest season, so bulk orders ship quickly. Lead time depends on volume and whether the lot is in stock or needs fresh production.
Production Lead Time
| Order type | Lead time |
|---|---|
| In-stock lots (sample / small) | 1-3 working days |
| Standard bulk order (in-stock) | 5-10 working days |
| Fresh production (harvest-season) | 2-4 weeks |
| Off-season production | 4-8 weeks (limited availability) |
| Private label / certified lots | 2-4 weeks plus certification time |
- The main harvest runs roughly January-March (Brazil) and November-February (China), when fresh cold-pressed oil is most abundant
- Outside harvest, we rely on cold-stored stock, which is quality-stable for the full 36-month shelf life
- Lead time is confirmed in the PI; we commit to a shipment date once the deposit is received
- Urgent small orders are prioritized so you can keep production moving
- For long-term projects, we recommend planning with a rolling forecast to guarantee availability
