French Perfumes Featuring Jasmine Extract and the Scent of Delta Nile Farmers
Egypt produces approximately 6.5 tons of jasmine paste annually, making it the global leader and surpassing India in the production of raw materials for the international women's perfume industry. Egyptian farmers harvest the flowers manually from villages like Shubra Bhloula in the Gharbia Governorate, working for modest wages that can reach as low as 115 pounds per kilogram, amid challenges such as early morning work due to intense sunlight and harsh conditions. Major French companies export jasmine paste in accordance with labor rights protections and minimum wage regulations, despite rising production costs and inflation that has reached 38% in Egypt, raising concerns about the sustainability of exports and working conditions.
