Is there a buyer and market for German Chamomile flowers in India?

German chamomile is grown in India, notably around the perfume and herbal belt, and the dried flowers and the distilled blue oil have demand from herbal tea, cosmetic, perfume and pharma users, including export. So there is a genuine but specialised market, not an open mandi, and it is often linked to specific buyers, distillation units or exporters. Prices vary by form, dried flower versus oil, and by quality. It is a cool season crop needing the right climate and a lot of hand labour at flower picking, which is the main constraint. Before planting, confirm an actual buyer, distiller or exporter and a written price, and verify they are buying this season. The hand picking labour and the need for a real buyer are the two things to sort out first. Verify demand locally before scaling up.
