Aroma Trading Limited

Market Report November 2004

Cardamom Oil
Price continues to fall, as supply greatly exceeds demand.

Cedarwood Oil
Demand for both Virginan and Texan Oil has pushed prices higher. Reduced furniture manufacturing blamed for shortage of Virginian Oil.

Ginger Root Oil
Some Chinese suppliers have lowered their pricing slightly as new crop due early next year.

Lime Distilled
Recent shortage of Mexican material seems to be over now, and price and availability now back to normal levels.

Marjoram Oil
Our Egyptian suppliers are now sold out until next crop in April 2005

Peppermint Oil
Looks like prices from India are starting to fall, so Menthol Crystals should move in the same direction.
