2. Fantastic marriage is ok
John brought his new colleague,
Peter, home for dinner. As they
arrived at the door, his wife rushed up,
threw her arms around John and
kissed him passionately.
"My goodness," said Peter, "and how
long have you been married?"
"22 years," replied John.
"You must have a fantastic marriage if
your wife greets you like that after all
those years."
"Don't be fooled! She only does it to
make the dog jealous."

4. MENTHAPIPERITA
With many farmers
now switching to
Arvensis, new report
suggests that acreage
of Mentha Piperita in
2020 may actually go
down compared to
2019.As the 2019
material is depleting on
a slow pace, we are
seeing little increase in
prices . Prices have
now shown moderate
increase at levels of Rs
2550-2600 for 5%
menthofuran oil. Later
in February, our team
will visit Peppermint
farmers and we shall be
able to share more
authentic news with
you. Although even at
current prices, Indian
material is not
attractive for American
processors. Therefore
any steep price
increase is ruled out,
until and unless we see
significant
improvement in
American mint prices.
Our suggestion will be
to cover now for next
four to five months.

6. MARKETUPDATE
MenthaArvensis&Menthol
norex.in
During the month of January, prices
were on downward trend. Market is
now feeling the heat of lower
demand. Due to new supplies of
synthetic Menthol, very fewer
multinational companies are looking
for additional volumes. At the same
time, Indian domestic economy is not
doing very well, followed with Chinese
New Year holidays.
New crop 2020 preparations have
started, and it is estimated that we are
going to see Mentha arvensis crop, at
least equal to 2019 crop. As the 2019
crop was already much higher
compared to demand, and this year
we have additional volumes of
synthetic menthol also, we can expect
a significant correction in prices after
July 2020.
Prices for DMO & other ex arvensis
products, like Menthone are down,
however natural cis-3-Hexenol prices
are firm, as synthetic cis-3-Hexenol
supplies are in trouble.
By the end of January, Coronavirus issue
in China has appeared. By the time of
preparation of this report, the situation
is really critical, and everybody is
keeping fingers crossed. China has a
major share in Indian natural menthol
buying and economic impact of this
virus infection seems unavoidable.
Therefore the overall demand for
Menthol set to decrease.
In the present situation, although we
can see lots of upward spikes until and
unless new crop will come. Still our
recommendation will be to buy less for
coming few months and wait for more
time to cover long.
7. SPEARMINTOIL
Prices for Natural spearmint are finally
increasing after a long period of stability.
Acerage is expected to be reduced in coming
2020 crop. As usual the prices will depend on
the prices of synthetic L-Cavone. And prices
of Synthetic L-carvone will depend on
Orange Oil/d-Limonene prices Funny
business.
ANETHOLE/ METHYL CHAVICOL/
INDIAN BASIL OIL
Reduced crop and good demand are pushing prices of Indian basil oil on higher side.
We don’t expect any relief in the prices, as production available is too less.
norex.in
LEMONGRASS OIL
Prices of Lemongrass Oil are pretty weak. India has seen lots of plantation for Lemongrass, pan
India due to its less complex simplified agriculture technique. At the same time, synthetic Citral
prices have come down very much which is prompting lesser prices for Lemongrass.
