🔍 Why Is Cinnamon Price Rising?

1. Global Demand for Ceylon Cinnamon

Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) from Sri Lanka is recognized as the world's finest cinnamon variety. Growing health consciousness globally has driven demand from Europe, USA and India, pushing farm gate prices higher.

2. Currency Stabilization

After the 2022-2023 economic crisis, Sri Lanka's rupee stabilization meant exporters could offer better prices to farmers while maintaining export competitiveness.

3. Supply Constraints

The 2022 fertilizer ban and fuel shortages disrupted cinnamon cultivation. Reduced supply from 2023-2024 combined with steady demand has driven sustained price increases.
