What the numbers say

Clove oil is a thinly traded, specialty essential oil whose price reacts quickly to grade, eugenol purity and lot size. Because India relies largely on imported clove feedstock, the domestic oil price tracks global bud and leaf prices, ocean freight, import duties and the rupee exchange rate. Biennial bearing and weather shocks in the main producing countries create year-on-year supply swings, while shifts in synthetic eugenol economics and demand from flavour, fragrance and pharmaceutical buyers add further volatility. Quality documentation, GC profile and certification can swing realised prices well above or below any headline indicative figure.

Understanding the price

What affects the clove oil price?

Clove oil is a eugenol-rich essential oil steam-distilled from the buds, leaves and stems of Syzygium aromaticum, prized in dental, flavour, fragrance and pharmaceutical applications. India is one of the world's largest consumers and importers of clove feedstock, with the bulk of distillation-grade clove material sourced from Indonesia, Madagascar and Tanzania. Prices are highly volatile and depend heavily on grade, eugenol content and purity, so any figure here is broadly indicative only.

Eugenol content & grade

Bud oil typically carries higher eugenol (often 80-90%) and commands a premium over leaf and stem oils. Pharmaceutical and food-grade lots with certified purity and low impurity profiles trade well above technical or fragrance grades.

Imported feedstock & FX

Most distillation-grade clove material reaching Indian processors is imported, so global bud/leaf prices, freight, duties and the rupee-dollar exchange rate feed directly into landed cost and the domestic oil price.

Crop & weather in source regions

Clove is a biennial-bearing crop; alternate-year yield swings, monsoon timing and cyclone or drought events in Indonesia, Madagascar and Tanzania tighten or loosen supply and move prices sharply.

Demand from flavour, pharma & eugenol derivatives

Pull from dental products, food flavouring, fragrance houses and eugenol-derived intermediates (such as iso-eugenol and vanillin synthesis) drives demand spikes, especially when synthetic substitutes become costlier.

Major producing regions

Imported feedstock (Indonesia, Madagascar, Tanzania)

The dominant source of distillation-grade clove buds, leaves and stems; the reference point for most Indian distillers and traders.

Western Ghats & South Indian hills (Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka)

Limited domestic clove cultivation in high-rainfall hill tracts supplies some local material, though India remains a net importer.

Northeast & coastal plantation pockets

Small-scale clove growing in select humid plantation belts adds marginal domestic supply for niche distillers.

Processing & trade hubs (Kerala, Mumbai)

Spice-oil distillation, blending and re-export clusters where landed feedstock is converted into graded clove oil for buyers.

Grades & varieties

Clove bud oil — Highest-value grade, rich in eugenol with a fuller aroma; preferred for fine flavour, fragrance and pharmaceutical use.
Clove leaf oil — Most widely traded volume grade; high eugenol, used heavily as feedstock for eugenol isolation and industrial applications.
Clove stem oil — Intermediate grade distilled from stems; eugenol-rich but coarser in profile, often used for eugenol recovery and technical uses.
Eugenol / redistilled fractions — Purified eugenol and rectified fractions for dental, flavour and synthesis markets; priced separately and at a premium to crude oils.

Market factors

Export relevance

India both imports clove feedstock and exports value-added clove oil, eugenol and rectified fractions to flavour, fragrance and pharmaceutical buyers worldwide. For exporters, competitiveness rests on consistent eugenol content, a clean GC profile, food/pharma-grade compliance and reliable documentation, with landed feedstock cost and FX shaping margins. Buyers should treat indicative prices as a starting reference and confirm grade, purity and volume before contracting.

Seasonal trends

Clove harvest in the principal producing countries is broadly seasonal and the tree is biennially bearing, so distillation-grade feedstock availability and prices typically swing between higher-yield and lower-yield years. Indian oil prices tend to firm when imported bud and leaf supply tightens after a weak crop or adverse weather, and ease when a strong harvest replenishes feedstock; festival and industrial demand cycles can layer additional short-term movement.

What is the price of Clove Oil in India today?

Clove Oil is trading at ₹2,500 per kg in India as of 25 Jun 2026 — a reference wholesale rate aggregated from authorised public sources and normalized to ₹/kg. Indicative, for reference only — not an AroWest retail price.

Is the clove oil price shown here AroWest's selling price?

No. This is an indicative wholesale/market reference in INR per kg compiled from authorised public sources. It is not AroWest's retail price and not a live, guaranteed quote. For a firm offer, request a current quotation specifying grade, eugenol content and volume.

Why does clove oil pricing vary so widely?

Clove oil is highly volatile and grade- and purity-dependent. Bud, leaf and stem oils, plus purified eugenol fractions, trade at very different levels, and eugenol content, certification and lot size all move the price. Any single figure is broadly indicative only.

Is clove oil grown in India or imported?

India has some clove cultivation in high-rainfall hill tracts of the Western Ghats and South Indian hills, but it remains a net importer. Most distillation-grade clove feedstock used by Indian processors is sourced from Indonesia, Madagascar and Tanzania.

What is clove oil mainly used for?

Its high eugenol content makes it valuable in dental and pharmaceutical preparations, food flavouring, fragrance, and as feedstock for eugenol-derived intermediates such as iso-eugenol and vanillin synthesis.
