The US government will keep controlling how much spearmint oil farmers can sell
What happened
The US Department of Agriculture has set the amounts of spearmint oil that farmers in the Far West can sell for the 2025-2026 marketing year. This means the government will continue to limit how much spearmint oil reaches the market, as it has for decades.
Why it matters
For decades, the US government has managed the supply of spearmint oil to keep prices stable for farmers. This rule continues that practice, ensuring that the market does not get flooded with too much oil. It means farmers know exactly how much they can sell, and buyers know the supply will be controlled.
The signal
Watch for any changes in the overall market price of spearmint oil, which should remain stable under these continued supply controls.
