This & That ~

FYI - From the Cookson Market Report:

Rosewood oil:
IBAMA arrested 54 people last week for the illegal logging of protected/endangered trees. Among those involved in the scheme were IBAMA officials, timber traders and even government lobbyists.

This development should curtail a lot of illegal logging and distillation of rosewood oil.

Our principals are unaffected as all the rosewood they use is fully certified by IBAMA. The starting point for this procedure is the identification of the harvestable trees by IBAMA. The controls continue all the way through the manufacturing process to the final approval to load oil onto a plane for export.

Rosewood oil: Our suppliers are deep in the Amazon jungle with IBAMA officials locating and mapping new rosewood stands. This is holding up new offerings.

For the moment, make sure you are buying legal (IBAMA certified) oil!

Tea Tree oil:
We hear that two, perhaps even three, Australian plantations have been purchased for property development. Prices are rising, particularly as the Chinese are sold out/between crops.

Who knows, we may eventually see China dominate the supply of this oil (shades of eucalyptol and eucalyptus oil??).

Cinnamon leaf oil:
The price of this oil has doubled since March!! Resistance is now appearing as prices exceed the highest level for many years.
