Turpentine Price Trend
Turpentine Price Trend
Since August 2020, a price surge in gum turpentine in Asia was witnessed, with the price rising from 2600 USD/MT to 4300 USD/MT, a 70 percent increase. This was because turpentine prices had been low for the previous 12 months, and farmers were unwilling to harvest at such low prices. The second reason was the COVID-19 pandemic, which reduced the workforce in Brazil and India, particularly during the harvesting season. However, as restrictions were lifted and industrial activities resumed after the first half of 2021, FOB China gum turpentine prices decreased, dropping from 4,500 USD/MT in Q1 to 3810 USD/MT in Q3.
