[0] PEPPERMINT [1] VERY FIRM [2] 
Globally prices for Mentha Arvensis and its derivatives have recently shot up to levels that have defied all predictions. There appears to have been adequate stocks produced from the Indian crop which concluded in July, but recent heavy demand has alarmed producers in India. Some traders and stockists of Menthol in Europe and USA who have allowed their positions to fall to unsustainable levels, have thus been forced to pay extraordinary high prices to airfreight small quantities of material from origin. The forecast for the US Piperita is lower than demand expectations, and prices are likely to rise.
