Where it comes from
This line sits in Ceara, Brazil. We hold Brazil as origin for carnauba, and quote against it on a stated side, quantity and delivery window.
| Country | Brazil |
|---|---|
| Producing regions | Ceara |
| We trade it as | Origin |
Commercial carnauba palm stands are concentrated in Brazil's semi-arid Northeast; Piaui, Ceara, Rio Grande do Norte and Maranhao together account for essentially all world supply, with the palm's native range not commercially exploited elsewhere at scale.
Shipment window
Leaf-cutting and wax collection follow the Northeast Brazil dry season, when leaves are driest and wax yield is highest; wet-season leaves yield little usable wax.
| Harvest | Aug to Dec |
|---|---|
| Arrival at destination | Oct to Feb |
Peak dry-season cutting runs roughly August through December; refiners and exporters hold stock and process/ship into the following months, so arrival windows extend past the harvest months.
Windows outside this are priced on request. Tell us when you need it and we will work back from the date.
What we quote, and how far out
We stand on both sides of spot cash prompt out to three months, physical delivered prompt out to six months and forward from three months to twelve months. We price options, swaps and storage and rental against a stated side, quantity and window, and anything past the dates above the same way. There is no cap on the dates we will look at.
A two-way quote is firm only when a trader confirms it in writing against your side, quantity and delivery window.
