ANETHOLE EX-STAR ANISE
We are now in the season of the new harvest of star anise in
China. Since the new crop is just started in July and will last
until October, it is still too early to say what the situation
will be like in the near future. Star anise and derivatives
have been in shortage in the past 12 months. Moreover,
star anise is recognized for its anti-virus property, which
will make it even more popular during pandemic period.
Even if the harvest would be stable, the price of star anise
and derivatives might go up in Autumn and wintertime
again.
WHAT’S
BENZYL BENZOATE

arrived on the market in the last 12 months, whereas the
demand has not increased as previously expected because
of COVID. Currently price for 1 FCL Benzyl benzoate is
around 2.0 USD/kg CFR. Price level should stay stable
