How does seasonal harvest affect 60% grade pricing and availability?
Monk fruit is harvested once per year (September–November), creating a predictable seasonal pattern. The 60% grade follows the same cycle, with one nuance: because multi-step crystallization is the most capacity-constrained, the 60% grade can see the tightest availability during peak season.
Annual Availability Cycle
| Period | Raw Material | Pricing | 60% Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sep–Nov (harvest) | Abundant | Lowest | Full capacity |
| Dec–Feb | Stocked | Moderate | Good (buffer built) |
| Mar–Jun | Inventory | Stable | Good |
| Jul–Aug | Depleting | Highest | Tightest — plan ahead |
