In 2022, basil is sown in January and planted in March. If growing well, it will be harvested 3 times. The first time is in June, the second time is in August and the third time is in October. In April and May, it rains a lot and this is not favorable weather for harvesting basil. If the rain condition continues in June, the yield volume might be lower than normal. Based on the planted area, the basil oil volume this year is expected to be about 10-12 tons. However, the old basil oil inventory is not much, so the basil oil volume in 2022 is predicted to be insufficient to meet market demand.
