Supplying De-mentholised Oil (DMO) to Lesotho

Lesotho is landlocked. We ship by sea from Nhava Sheva or Mundra to Durban, South Africa, about 251 km from the main buying centre, then onward by road or rail. Sea transit to the gateway port is typically 18–26 days.

UN Comtrade does not record direct Indian exports of mint oils to Lesotho for 2022–2025, so most material reaches buyers there through traders and regional distributors. Buying direct from the manufacturer removes that layer.

De-mentholised Oil (DMO) is used in toothpaste and mouthwash flavours, chewing gum, peppermint-type flavour reconstitution and household fragrance.
