Is storax balsam oil supply seasonal, and how does it affect availability?
Yes — storax resin is harvested in a defined seasonal window (regulated by the ChP 2025 supplement), which affects raw-material supply, pricing, and lead times throughout the year.
Seasonality & Availability
| Period | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Late summer – autumn (defined tapping season) | Peak harvest | Resin collected from wounded bark; ChP supplement defines the season |
| Winter | Low raw stock | Processing continues from stored resin; prices may firm |
| Spring | Restocking | Trees rested (sustainable tapping); new harvest preparation |
| Turkey (Mugla) | Complementary window | Wild resin imported to buffer domestic seasonality |
- The ChP 2025 supplement states that the harvest must follow the defined season, so off-season wild collection is not standard practice
- We hold safety stock (3–5 day dispatch for standard grade) to smooth seasonality; premium SFE-CO2 runs are scheduled within the harvest window for freshest raw material
- Annual contracts with fixed pricing protect buyers from seasonal price swings
- For stable programs, we recommend ordering 2–3 months before your peak production season
