Indonesia is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of essential oils, producing over 4,000 tons annually. Around 85% of global patchouli oil consumption comes from Indonesia, with production between 1,000-1,500 tons per year and average exports of 1,057 tons annually. The business plan proposes establishing a 30-acre patchouli oil plantation and production facility in Indonesia to capitalize on the country's large natural resources and demand from the perfume, fragrance, health, and cosmetics industries. The operation would produce a variety of patchouli oil products for local and international markets.

Recently, there were more than 30 companies of essential oil in Indonesia. The huge

4. Djasulawangi
5. Takasago
6. Indesso
7. Karimun Kencana Aromatics, etc.
Price was fluctuated, it depends on stock, demand, local price, season and the essential
company player. Small distiller sell their product to essential oil companies, and they’re
collected it into tons and then export it. Small amount of patchouli oil wouldn’t catch
up the minimum quantity needed by the importers. A long marketing chain start from
traditional distiller-collectors-essential oil companies-traders-buyers. Singapore was one
of the patchouli oil biggest trader.
12. International Market
Around 70% of patchouli oil global market was dominated by Givaudan. The others was
playing in a low quantity and volume. Since there’s no other substituent of patchouli
oil, fragrance and perfume industry still needs patchouli oil for their product.
