But this year, lack of rainfall, basil is slow growth and early aging.
From June 10, farmers start the first cutting. According to statistics obtained from Techvina, the first cut oil production is forecasted to be 20% less than in 2022 due to the fewer harvested leaves and branches.
With limited production, basil oil prices are expected to not change much and remain high.
