Citronella Essential Oil
Citronella Essential Oil Exporter India
Premium Citronella Oil — Sourced from India's Key Growing Regions
Citronella oil’s commercial value is driven almost entirely by its citronellal and geraniol content — the compounds responsible for its signature insect-repellent and fragrance properties. Genivo Global sources citronella grass from established growing regions across India, including the Kannauj belt in Uttar Pradesh — long recognized as a center of India’s essential oil and perfumery trade — as well as Kerala and parts of North East India.
Why This Origin Matters
The Kannauj region has centuries of accumulated distillation expertise, historically the heart of India’s traditional perfume (“attar”) industry, giving us access to skilled processing knowledge alongside raw material supply. This combination of agricultural sourcing and distillation know-how supports consistent oil quality that’s harder to replicate in regions without this trade heritage.
