Lemongrass Oil/Leaves-the great source of the india/south india/Hosur

Lemon grass (Cymbopogan flexuosus, family: Poaceae) is an aromatic plant which grows in many parts of tropical and sub-tropical South asia.


In India, the crop is under commercial cultivation along Western Ghats (Maharashtra, Kerala), Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, UP, Assam and foothills of Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim.

Lemongrass is one of most important aromatic grass which can become a crop of future India based on experience among many aromatic crop. Reason for same is its application for derivatives like Vitamins which require basic molecule like Citral which is major component of this oil

Botanical Description
Lemon grass is a tall, perennial hedge throwing up dense fascicles of leaves from a short rhizome. Leaves are long, glaucous, green, linear, tapering upwards and along the margins; ligule very short; sheaths terete, those of the barren shoots widened and tightly clasping at the base, others narrow and separating. It is a short day plant and flowers profusely in South India. The inflorescence is a long spike about one meter in length. Flower panicles are 30 to over 60 cm long

Economic Importance

Lemon grass oil is distilled from leaves and flowering tops of Lemon grass.

The oil has strong lemon-like odour, due to high percentage ( over 75%) of citral in the oil, which is used as a basic raw material for synthesis  of ß-ionones used for synthesis of a number of useful aromatic compounds and Vitamin - A. Lemon grass oil is thus used as a main substitute for ‘ Cod liver oil’.

Citral itself is used in perfumery for various grades of soaps, detergents, cosmetics, insect repellents, room freshners, ayurvedic preparations and flavour agent for soft drinks.

Aromatic Plant contract Cultivation -Lemon citronella oil,Rosemary oil,Davana oil,Lemon grass oil,Basil Oil,Mint oil- india scope having at tamil nadu



Agriculture and Industry have been conventionally viewed as separate sectors in respect of their characteristics and their role in economic growth.


India is predominantly an Agriculture economy and food production accounts for 26% of India's GDP .


Agriculture accounts for more than 60% of employment.


Agriculture has been growing at 3.3% compared to Industry's 7.5% a year.



India stands second in Fruit production after Brazil and also second in vegetables production after China.



Thirty three million tonnes of fruits and 70 million tonnes of vegetables are produced in India with a global market share of 11% and 17.5% respectively.



The fruits and vegetables are processed to an extent of 1 to 2% in India, compared to 70 to 80% by the developed countries.



The Government of India is offering many incentives for the food processing industries treating it as a thrust area.




2. 79% of rural population contribute to the development of Agriculture.


The urbanization process has resulted in migration of rural people to the urban areas for non-farming activities.



Tamil Nadu is the second most urbanised State next to Maharashtra.



The inequilibrium between the industrial and agricultural wages causes unrest and frustration which manifests in the form of societal violences. The expanded urban markets require agriculture products especially fruits and vegetables in a fresh or in a processed form.




3. Tamil Nadu with its different agro climatic regions is historically well suited to produce different varieties of fruits and vegetables in large quantities.




Around 5.5 million tonnes of fruits and 5.7 million tonnes of vegetables are grown in 4 lakh hectares in Tamil Nadu.




However, due to inadequate linkages with markets, fruits and vegetables produced in abundance during seasons do not realise the value for the farmers.



There are a large number of intermediaries who deny value to both farmers and consumers. Inadequate linkages also lead to loss of large quantities of fruits and vegetables.


Fragmented land holdings, lack of capital, poor infrastructure, inadequate information dissemination are the main constraints which can be overcome by a cohesive system with strong linkages among research, infrastructure, private sector and the farming community through contract farming system for the production and marketing of fruits and vegetables in the State.




Industries engaged in Food processing have been very keen to undertake large scale Horticulture crop production either through their own farms or leased land.
