Essence of Flowers Industry In France and Exports

The Increased shipment of lavender essence from France grows, with value rising from 37,605 in 1918 to 15,049 so far in 1917, signaling a thriving lavender and orange flower water export sector. Peasants distill most essence using crude methods in Ardeche, Drome, Vaucluse, and Bar­s-Alpes, while French concerns hold sequestered distilleries. The orange flower water, from near Nice and Grasse, is key to perfumery and pharma trades, with large-scale production and yearly crops around 1,207,000 kilograms of blossoms yielding substantial export value. Local growers form cooperatives to market their flowers to distillers and manufacturers.
