This will most likely lead to a massive oversupply situation in the future. Listing plant species as endangered is one issue, enforcement is another as many of these endangered species are still traded in significant quantities [11].

Used as a flavour material. The harvesting of wild plants often involves traveling over difficult terrain to collect material and process it into an essential oil or aromatic extract. The supply of wild plant material is unstable and subject to both natural interventions and regulation. Wild collection in the majority of cases is difficult to regulate [28] and ensure sustainability. The vast majority of producers in these regions are subsistence farmers who suffer from poor yields, poor quality, unfavourable economics and markets outside of their control.
The power of producers to influence price in the market does not exist, particularly where producers of one geographic region also compete against producers from other geographical regions. To survive subsistence farmers must skillfully decide which crops to cultivate, so their income is maximized.
However when large numbers of farmers receive the same information, aggregate over responses usually occur through dramatic increases or decreases in production. This creates large price.
Where crops are perennial, producers have no choice but to continue in the market and take what price is offered, unless they decide to get out of production completely. The longer the supply chain the less influence the producer will have over it. Traders act on behalf of a large group of fragmented producers from remote locations, thus exercising great power over producers. The supply chain can be manipulated by hoarding stocks and waiting until prices rise, allowing the sell off stocks at large profits.
How widespread this practice is unknown. There are few organizations that represent the true interests of the producer, most represent the interests of traders. The ethics of purchasing from primary producers in the supply chain is now an important issue amongst many companies.
Some large companies have set up community projects in developing countries with ethical supply chains. Large essential oil producers focus their business development strategy on finding ways to develop product differentiation to strengthen their bargaining power over customers in the marketplace.
These strategies involve developing isolates, fractions and specialty materials from essential oils, which other producers dont have. Producers try to convince the customer that these isolates have benefits or efficacy that is superior to the crude essential oil and worth paying a premium for.
Other producers, although very few have been successful, have developed and marketed their own consumer product ranges around the world in attempts to get away from the price swings of a commodity product. The Regulatory Environment The regulatory environment is cited as the most difficult barrier to overcome in the development of a new essential oil. The regulatory environment is currently undergoing great change. It is governed by a number of organizations with regional and product category jurisdictions.
These are described in some detail in chapter Seven. Many see these regulatory bodies as taking an over the top approach to ensure consumer safety through material restriction, far beyond the actual threat availing society from the usage of aromatic materials in everyday life [31].
Examples of some issues facing the industry today include; Limonene, a monoterpene constituent of many essential oils, including citrus oils is under consideration for classification as an acute hazard to the environment. This means that products containing this ingredient in specified proportions [32] will be required to follow EU hazard labeling rules.
This will disallow the certification of any product containing limonene in eco-certifications. This will potentially limit natural chypre and. The SCCP in formed the opinion that the use of undiluted tea tree oil is unsafe and it is unsuitable for use in cosmetics [35]. Under proposed legislation small cosmetic cottage industry hobbyists and microcompanies will be required to register with the US Federal Drug Authority like any other cosmetic manufacturer.
Under the proposed FDA Globalization Act [36], small companies will be required to pay the same fees as their larger counterparts, operate production and goods storage in separate locations, undertake the same paperwork requirements, register their formulations and advise the FDA of any changes in product formulation. If this act is passed, it will heavily curtail home and hand-made cosmetic and aromatherapy production in the United States.
The major consequence from the changing Worldwide regulatory framework is that all essential oils must fulfill regulatory requirements, including existing ones because there are no grandfather provisions in the EU regulations.
This will dramatically increase the cost to producers who are not organized as a representative group and increase the costs for any new essential oil development. New markets and opportunities are opening up for essential oils. No published market or growth figures exist for organically certified agricultural pesticides and fungicides, but growth is exponential according to those in the industry.
There are also innovations in the household insecticide market. Companies like EcoSmart have launched knock-down household insecticides utilising essential oils as the major active ingredients [38]. The use of the term natural in the cosmetic industry has become misleading. Many multinational companies are moving into the organic cosmetic segment, previously served by smaller specialist niche manufacturers. There is currently lack of regulation in this area which is allowing companies to portray their products as natural, when they are really not.
Natural does not mean sustainable and the use of some materials may actually harm bio-diversity, rather than preserve it, as discussed in the previous section on wild plant collection. The use of diesel to distill essential oils can be substantial. Ginger takes 20 hours, linaloe 25 hours, vetiver hours and Ylang ylang up to 48 hours of distillation time. This creates a large carbon footprint, especially with diesel and bunker fuels that have to be carted long distances.
Various organic certification bodies exist to audit and appraise cosmetics, but these certification schemes at present, are not uniform in their standards and are voluntary, without any legal sanction. Therefore it is possible that the fragrance in the product is synthetic and not from a natural source.
The sustainability of production is also not adequately assessed, leading to criticism of these certification schemes. Until these certification schemes are developed further, there is little incentive for manufacturers to increase their use of essential oils.
This will be discussed in more detail in chapter The Rural Crisis As we are completing the first decade in this new Century much of the Asia-Pacific region is suffering a rural crisis.
Australia is hit with a long drought which is slowly grinding rural regions to a halt. With tightening credit, many rural families are being forced off the land. Chronic shortages of labour are affecting harvests and production. Declining services and infrastructure is lowering the quality of life for rural families. Another aspect of Australian rural society is the inequality of educational pathways between rural and urban youth [39]. This could potentially inhibit the ability of rural people to scan for opportunities and exploit them in the next generation.
To the North in Papua New Guinea, economic and social inequality is increasing between the rural and urban population. Rural population has fewer opportunities from limited economic activity. Disadvantages include, remoteness from urban markets, the high cost and deterioration of transport services, poor access to services, lack of private and Government investment and environmental pressure on the eco-system due to illegal activities such as logging. In Papua New Guinea nearly half of the people living in rural areas live under the poverty line [40].
Many rural areas lag behind in national development unable to benefit from the high levels of growth in the region. Some governments are focusing on building infrastructure in urban areas due to the very rapid urban population growth, at the expense of the rural areas.
Lack of rural investment is leading to higher rural unemployment rates where a large percentage of the rural youth population is leaving to the cities for job opportunities [41]. This leaves an aging farmer population in rural areas with low education levels, resources and capital. In some parts of the region, there is a feeling of powerlessness, with a lack of ideas, opportunities and matching skills, so very few are willing and able to embark upon new agriculture ventures [42].
Templating of Natural Aromatic Molecules Many natural perfumes from the scents of flowers in the forests and jungles of the World are examined each year by flavour and fragrance companies [43]. This results in a thorough analysis of these oils and an investigation of the biological pathways that leads to their natural synthesis. From this data, thousands of new molecules are synthesized each year, their odour.
The discoveries of new aromatic compounds have led more to the development of specialty aroma chemicals than to the development of new essential oils.
The newly discovered aromatic molecules become molecular templates, where economic routes of synthesis can be designed and developed on a commercial scale. With advances in biofermentation, this trend is likely to continue because many newly discovered natural molecules come from plant species where the target molecule exists in the plant in trace amounts and too costly to extract. With very few exceptions, flavour and fragrance companies have been reluctant to invest and develop the production of new essential oils due to the ease of synthesis as an alternative.
The process of finding new molecules and synthesizing them is shown in Figure 1. The patenting of aromatic materials found in nature is the way that many companies have protected specialty aroma chemicals with novel notes they have developed. This allows companies to exclusively offer these materials to the industry on a monopoly basis.
The issue of synthesis raises the debate about intellectual property. These claims and rights in many cases are based on indigenous knowledge and medicine, although this is sometimes hidden. Companies hide the original source of knowledge and true ownership through not using the correct botanical nomenclature and specifying individual chemicals from the plant, without specifically mentioning the plant, and referring to a number of plants.
The effect of these patents in a number of cases is to prevent the development of a specific essential oil as a single party has been awarded the exclusive rights, preventing others from exploiting a known and public domain natural resource. Companies that have the analytical equipment and laboratories to compile the data needed for an expensive patent application are advantaged over individuals and community groups who are usually not organized and lack the needed resources [45].
The Cropwatch website argues that these patents represent misallocations of public domain knowledge and occur because the patent authorities lack the expertise required to scrutinize these issues [46]. Nevertheless, a number of these patents have been challenged and revoked by patent authorities. Juss was revoked and a tumeric Curcuma long L. Research Most crops need considerable research before they can be commercialized.
Research plays an important role in essential oil development and maintaining competitive advantage of an existing industry. Essential oil research covers the disciplines of botany, ethno-botany, entomology, natural product chemistry, analytical chemistry, mirco-propagation, agronomy, agricultural engineering, distillation engineering, biotechnology, bioprocess engineering, cosmetic chemistry, perfumery, flavours and industrial chemistry.
However, the majority of research undertaken in these fields by universities and research institutions tends to be academic rather than practical research. Academic researchers tend to be more concerned about maintaining the rigour of science, judged by their peers in journals and conference proceedings, rather than research that contributes directly to the exploitation of essential oils and development of the industry [47].
According to Malcolm, the last fifty years of Australian agriculture research was largely irrelevant to the farming community [48]. Public funding is decreasing and this is forcing the role and organization of research into new paradigms.
In the future strategic alliances will need to be created, like for example the strategic alliance between the University of Tasmania and Essential Oils of Tasmania. Other commercial research and development arrangements are being implemented places like New Zealand, where a corporate research institution SCION is collaborating with the existing kanuka oil industry to improve the value of production through creating specific isolates useful to industry, under a commercial arrangement [49].
Future essential oil research cannot rely on public research funding to assist in the establishment of new essential oils. Farmers will need to empower themselves and lead their own research in what is called farmer driven research [50].
This research approach escapes the irrelevant research provided by public institutions and focuses on the real needs in developing a new crop [51]. Many research models involve the farmer in their own crop trials, without the same rigour as academic research to achieve useable data that can be utilised by farming communities.
This approach is called participatory action research, farmer participatory research, participatory technology development and on-farm research. Although these models were originally developed for Third World farming communities, they are quickly being adapted to problems of farming in developed countries [52].
The shift from traditional based research to participatory action research is shown in Figure 1. Agricultural professional stance that emphasizes farming as a social practice that uses technology. Emphasis on co-learning through farmer and community participatory research and empowerment programs. Research in the future is most likely to be corporate based focused on the development of highly valued isolates and fractions of existing essential oils.
This will be sponsored and dominated by research orientated enterprises, the flavour and fragrance industry, cosmetic and pharmaceutical companies. Growers in the Asia-Pacific region will have to rely on collaboration with other individuals [53] and commercial organizations, or go down the road of participatory action research [54].
From a sustainability standpoint, research without a strong component of innovation that provides some form of competitive advantage, or is based on some external unique factor like climate, may not always benefit the emerging industry. Research that doesn t create a strong entry barrier to others will not stop an industry declining in one country and emerging in another. Examples to support this proposition is the loss of the Australian eucalyptus industry to Europe, Africa and South America, the loss of the Australian tea tree industry to China and the move of floral oil production from Europe to Asia.
Sustainability The concept of sustainability is elusive, difficult to define and even more difficult to know whether the enterprise is really operating in a sustainable way. Although there are now many conflicting definitions of sustainability, most include elements of both the socioeconomic and natural systems [55]. Theoretically, sustainability is about integration of the enterprise with the environment, where the environment includes natural, social, economic and strategic aspects.
A sustainable enterprise is one that maintains productivity in the long-term [56]. Immediate needs should be able to be met, while ecosystems and biodiversity are preserved for the future. However, it must also be accepted that everything. Sustainability needs consideration on all aspects of an enterprise. These areas include; a the agricultural aspects, where long term production and preservation of resources are balanced out, b the surrounding ecological aspects, where the eco-system and bio-diversity is not depleted, c the management aspects, where the management system supports individual employees and the community, d the financial and economic aspects, where the benefits of new crops can be sustained without having to continually subsidize and financially support them with external funding, and e interactions with the socio-economic environment and the community, where both have mutual benefits.
The concepts of sustainability in agriculture are discussed further in chapter Robert Cooper in his book Winning at New Products suggests that looking only at the factors of success will not give as an informative picture as looking at the factors of failure, as well.
This is because, not all factors we equate with the success, actually contribute to that success. Therefore, the study of the factors resulting in failure is in many ways a more important key to understanding what factors are critical [57]. Planning and Opportunity Assessment Assessing potential opportunities should be undertaken in a manner that considers and exposes the potential risks in development.
Risk can be minimized when the requirements to exploit the crop successfully i. Each crop should be screened against criteria set out in Table 1. A good assessment of the issues involved in development will help those involved gain a good understanding of what knowledge is required to make the project succeed. Making good assessments of the issues involved is a way to deal with potential future problems that could pose challenges to the project. A good assessment of the issues will negate the possibilities of the unexpected occurring, as these have already been factored in with potential contingencies, should they arise.
When a project progresses without surprises, it is much easier for all stakeholders to maintain their patience and commitment. The loss of patience and commitment by stakeholders can quickly shut down a project. Incorrect assessments can lead to underestimations of the technical, management and market requirements that could be critical to success or failure. Making good assessments during screening will lead to the setting of sound assumptions from which good development plans can be set.
Many essential oil projects fail outright because of wrong assumptions made in the early planning of the project. Incorrect assumptions could be related to market, customer, price, cost, yield, cultivation time, or operational costs.
The very assumptions that a development plan is based upon must be realistic, and contingencies developed for any variances of these assumptions. Identifying the correct stakeholders that have the ability to enhance and improve competencies is important. Paramount to making sound opportunity assessments is the quality of information used. There are numerous sources of information available ranging from totally unreliable to very reliable. For example, at the time of writing there is great excitement about cultivating lemongrass, as a source of citral.
Many websites are claiming that citral is a newly found cure for cancer. Some companies are buying up lemongrass and manufacturing products with claims that cannot be scientifically supported and without any pharmaceutical registration [58].
When products dont meet pharmaceutical regulations, they will eventually be forced off the market by the authorities. Some farmers will suffer as their customers will disappear. The reliability of information will be discussed in more detail in chapter Six. Management and Organisational Issues Management is a crucial factor in the success of any project. Management will lead the project implementation, appraise progress, and strategise ways to solve any arising problems.
This will be much easier if potential problems were anticipated and contingencies developed to settle them as discussed in the last section. Management should be flexible and open to changing approaches to deal with arising issues. The project management must have the identified skills and competencies required to undertake the project, or have outside assistance available where these skills do not exist internally.
This is where collaboration with research institutes and customers are important. Begin with an entrepreneurial management style, then move to marketing orientated style and eventually corporate management style. Growth Develop value-added products, new market, customers, expand production, move to more formal management Growth Maturity. Test hypothesis, review market, confirm viability, develop applications, increase knowledge, learn how to operate commercial operation.
Maturity Corporate orientation with well defined depts. During a project, different types of management style are required. Firstly, in the initial phase, a planning stance is necessary. After the planning phase, a research and development phase at field and market level is required.
This is the time where collaboration with outside stakeholders will be critical. The third phase is where the enterprise moves from the research and development phase into the commercial phase. The commercial phase will involve startup, growth and maturity sub-phases, which also require different areas of strategic focus and styles of management.
For example, planning style will be no good during the research and commercial phases, etc. Different people will have different strengths or competencies during each phase and the enterprise may require different people to lead it through these different stages. The various stages in project and enterprise development are depicted in Figure 1. Successful enterprises are ones that find opportunities that add value to the commercial operations.
This could be in waste management, the production of by-products or some form of horizontal integration. Enterprises with multiple sources of revenue will generally have better chances of becoming sustainable and successful. Factors that can lead a project to failure include activities and attributes that are dysfunctional to the enterprise. This can start in the strategic arena where important stakeholders do not share a common vision and see different directions for the enterprise.
This is common in many government-private enterprise ventures. Disagreement over vision can degenerate into straight politics, greed, deception or dishonesty, all destructive forces for. Other factors that detract from potential success are mismatches of skills to technical, management and marketing requirements and the failure to find and develop extra value-added horizontal diversifications that can supplement income. Financial Issues Sound budgeting depends upon correct time assumptions with good contingency planning.
This ensures that all stakeholders know what to expect and will be supportive of the project throughout its progress. Over-estimates of income and under-estimates of costs will result in insufficient cash-flows. Beschikbaar in alle kamers. Populaire bezienswaardigheden. Nabijgelegen bezienswaardigheden.
Extra bedden zijn afhankelijk van het gekozen kamertype. Raadpleeg het beleid van de desbetreffende kamer voor nadere informatie. Alle kinderen zijn welkom. De accommodatie. Het zwembad wordt gerenoveerd en is voor onbepaalde tijd gesloten. Het enige minpunt is de ligging, een beetje ver van het centrum. Kamerdeals bekijken. Wat een prachtig hotel, zeer nette en mooie kamers, lekker ontbijt.
Het enige minpunt is de ligging, het ligt een beetje afgelegen van het centrum. Breakfast on 8th floor has various foods. But the hotel is too far, So guests should have car to go there. This is a very nicely decorated hotel with friendly helpful staff. We had particularly good service from the staff on arrival. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom spotless.
The breakfast food in the cafe is very good and the selection in the buffet is plentiful and varied. Definitely would recommend this place to everyone. The modern styles of hotel room and cleanliness was great. The staffs were friendly and helpful too. The food and beverage provided were reasonable and delicious, not to forget about their various choice of breakfast and tasty. Recommended for a stay if you are looking for a relaxing stay not in busy town as the location will be a little far from the town.
Last but not least, the pool maintenance needed an improvement as we are seeing the pool water was cloudy and not well maintained. If you don't have your own car this is not the place to stay. Location wise is quite far from Lee Garden and shopping area. The nearest is Central Festival which is about 2 kilometers away. However, the hotel is new and the decor is kind of gothic style which is awesome.
They have a swimming pool but you have to pass by the lobby to get to the pool which is not convenient. They also have a play area for kids. No iron provided which I think they should provide for the price that you are paying. Check in was fast but you have to provide a deposit of Baht per room.
Service provided was good especially by the bellboy. Breakfast spread was just nice. Will come again because the hotel itself is lovely. I'm pretty satisfied with this hotel and would recommend my friends for a stay here! The hotel location is actually okay not too far away if you are using GRAB car service.
Is so convenient there. I don't mind travel for 15 minutes over and for me that's really okay. Is clean and new! Nice room. Breakfast is also nice! Love it. Relatively clean, elegantly designed and comfortable rooms, with a lovely swimming pool and polite, earnest staff offering welcome drinks. Buffet breakfast on the 8th floor is delicious, although the variety can be improved for its price.
But the location is relatively remote, and there is a lack of good eating options within walking distance from the hotel. The best bet is to take the hotel tuk tuk baht per trip to the shopping malls or night markets.
Pros : for a room like this, i am happy with the returns esp the breakfast. Abundant choices. Rooms were clean. Facilities were still in tact. Cons : water pressure in shower low. Beds were on rollers so they may slide around a little. Other than those, all were good. Oh yeah the location is good for those with own transport. It's quite far off from the town but plenty of tuk tuks available upon request.
The hotel is very new and well decorated. The Cleanliness is topnorch level. The Staff is very nice. The facilities might not cover everything you need but you still get a very nice and huge pool. I would be more happy if the hotel would provide the fitness center as well. The only down point of the hotel is its location. It's pretty far from the main road which makes it impossible for the choice of the hotel if you don't have your own car as it's very difficult to commute around.
However, if you have your own car or you can rent a car, the hotel is perfect for the amount spent. I will surely choose this hotel once again on my next stay in Hatyai. It is a new hotel, the staffs are great and friendly. Breakfast included, buffet style, restaurant at top floor with nice interior design, it's great!
It was considerably dirty during our stay. Overall, it was a great stay there. The location of this hotel need a car to access, outside hotel has nothing to see. Hotel is new and all furnishing is up to date. Limited outdoor parking but no issue. Breakfast is good. Value for money.
I recommend other to stay here. The hotel is above expectations, surrounding is very quiet, suitable for us who is looking for an escape from the hustle bustle from the city.. The staffs are helpful. We were amazed by the service of one of the staff, name "Boy", he is very friendly and helpful in all way and always with a smiley face, two thumbs up for you Boy!
Will see you again on next visit. New hotel, a bit far frm town. For people that love quiet place for relaxation, here u are. Free bicycle for u to roam around the hotel or outside if u wish to. The local foodstalls n not far away. We juz stay 1 nite as stopover. Really enjoy the environment. Bump into the owner during the checkout who very friendly n have a big ambition of new concept of hotel stay for his guest.
Will come back to stay again. Very impressed with this 5 month old hotel. Modern n nice design, rooms are big but again to avoid rooms that is near the housekeepers room, got woken up from my sleep early in the morning but can't blame them as they r doing their job, maybe the management could relocate them instead. Breakfast was good n simple, menu changed for the 2 days I stayed.
My family and I love this hotel because it is new, good facilities such as swimming pools, playground, and etc. The room is clean and big. This hotel is a good choice to stay if you have kids.
Nice bathroom and all. Good one in Hat Yai.
