Indonesia kaya akan aneka ragam tanaman untuk memproduksi minyak atsiri seperti minyak Nilam (patchouli oil), minyak Cengkeh, minyak pala, minyak kayu putih, minyak melati, Minyak sereh wangi (citronella oil) dan sebagainya.Volume perdagangan Minyak Atsiri Dunia diperkirakan bernilai sekitar US$4 milliar pada tahun 2007. Dari beberapa jumlah minyak atsiri tersebut,13 jenis telah memasuki pasar atsiri dunia, yaitu nilam, serai wangi, cengkih, jahe, pala, lada, kayu manis, cendana, melati, akar wangi, kenanga, kayu putih, dan kemukus. Sebagian besar minyak atsiri yang diproduksi petani diekspor dengan pangsa pasar untuk nilam 64%,kenanga 67%, akar wangi 26%, serai wangi 12%, pala 72%, cengkih 63%, jahe 0,4%, dan lada 0,9% dari ekspor dunia. Negara tujuan ekspor minyak atsiri Indonesia antara lain adalah Amerika Serikat (23%), Inggris (19%), Singapura (18%), India (8%), Spanyol (8%), Perancis (6%), Cina (3%), Swiss (3%), Jepang (2%), dan negara-negara lainnya (8%). Meskipun pangsa pasar beberapa komoditas atsiri secara individurelatif tinggi, total pangsa atsiri Indonesia di pasar dunia hanya sekitar 2,6%. Secara historical data, dalam perekonomian nasional pun, pada periode 2001- 2003 komoditas minyak atsiri hanya memiliki porsi yang kecil, digolongkan ke dalam komoditas “perkebunan lainnya”, dengan peran rata-rata 0,01% dari total nilai ekspor komoditas perkebunan. Pada tahun 2004, nilai ekspor komoditas atsiri mencapai US$ 47,2 juta, namun Indonesia juga mengimpor minyak atsiri senilai US$ 12,26 juta serta hasil olahannya (derivat, isolat, dan formula) US$ 117,20 juta.(sumber Balitro and other resources material data BPS)
Indonesia adalah salah satu pengekspor utama minyak atsiri dunia dengan nilai ekspor minyak atsiri dan turunannya: lebih dari USD120 juta pada tahun 2007. Di antara sekitar 3 ratus jenis minyak atsiri, terdapat puluhan jenis minyak atsiri yang sudah, sedang dan berpotensi dikembangkan di Indonesia. Pemasaran untuk minyak atsiri tidak bisa terlepas dari penggunaannya. Industri pengguna utama minyak atsiri adalah industri flavor & fragrance, industri kimia aromatik, industri farmasi, industri kosmetik (termasuk spa) dan toiletries (termasuk detergent), industri pengendalian serangga/hama serta industri makanan dan minuman.
Yang menjadi kendala berdasarkan penelitian para pakar atsiri bahwa Minyak atsiri Indonesia dihadapkan pada dua masalah utama, yaitu mutu rendah dan harga yang berfluktuasi, terutama pada komoditas ekspor utama yaitu nilam dan akar wangi. Mutu minyak atsiri yang rendah merupakan akumulasi dari mutu bahan baku tanaman atsiri yang rendah dan tidak seragam, penggunaan alat penyuling dan teknologi proses yang belum terstandar, serta kurangnya insentif harga bagi minyak atsiri yang bermutu baik.
Sebagai contoh kasus dalam hal minyak nilam Indonesia jika kita analisa berdasarkan penelitian impor minyak nilam dari luar negeri bukan untuk di gunakan untuk diolah sebagai produk jadi lainnya, tetapi semata untuk dicampur dengan produk lokal dan diekspor kembali (reekspor). Hal ini disebabkan mutu minyak nilam Indonesia sudah sangat dikenal di luar negeri sebagai minyak yang mutunya sangat baik, sehingga tujuan reekspor tersebut merupakan strategi dagang para pengekspor minyak nilam Indonesia untuk memperoleh keuntungan bahwa dengan mengimpor minyak nilam yang harganya lebih murah dan mencantumkan "Made in Indonesia" dan menjual dengan harga lebih tinggi. Namun impor minyak nilam hanya tercatat untuk tahun periode 1986/1987 setelah itu tidak terjadi lagi. Hal itu disebabkan karena berbagai sebab antara lain dapat terjadi antara lain adalah :
Untuk harga minyak nilam jatuh pada titik terendah sehingga kegiatan produksi dalam negeri pun mengalami penurunan sehingga imporpun terhenti;
Dengan perbedaan harga satuan ekspor karena antara minyak nilam Indonesia dengan minyak nilam luar negeri makin kecil karena menurunnya aspirasi pembeli luar negeri terhadap mutu minyak nilam Indonesia karena sekalipun kualitas bagus tetapi banyak di campur.
Mengenai penggunanan Minyak atsiri di Indonesia sangat beragam, dapat digunakan melalui berbagai cara yaitu melalui mulut/dikonsumsi langsung berupa makanan dan minuman seperti jamu yang mengandung minyak atsiri, penyedap/fragrant makanan, flavour es krim, permen, pasta gigi dan lain-lain. Pemakaian luar seperti untuk pemijatan, lulur, lotion, balsam, sabun mandi, shampo, obat luka/memar, pewangi badan (parfum). Melalui pernapasan (inhalasi/aromaterapi) seperti untuk wangi-wangian ruangan, pengharum tissue, pelega pernafasan rasa sejuk dan aroma lain untuk aroma terapi. Pemanfaatan aromaterapi sebagai salah satu pengobatan dan perawatan tubuh yang menjadi trend “back to nature” sangat membutuhkan bahan baku yang beragam dan bermutu dari tanaman aromatik.Keanekaragaman hayati tanaman aromatik yang menghasilkan minyak atsiri diperkirakan 160-200 jenis yang termasuk dalam famili Labiatae, Compositae, Lauraceae, Graminae, Myrtaceae, Umbiliferae dan lain-lain. Dalam dunia perdagangan telah beredar ± 80 jenis minyak atsiri diantaranya nilam, serai wangi, cengkeh, jahe, pala, fuli, jasmin dan lain-lain, sedang di Indonesia diperkirakan ada 12 jenis minyak atsiri yang diekspor ke pasar dunia. Jenis-jenis minyak atsiri Indonesia yang telah memasuki pasaran internasional diantaranya nilam, serai wangi, akar wangi, kenanga/ylang-ylang, jahe, pala/fuli dan sebagainya. Hal ini merupakan tantangan dan peluang bagi pelaku usaha Indonesia untuk lebih lagi menjaga kualitas bagi pasar ekspor maupun pasar domestik, sehingga nantinya peluang emas ini menjadi suatu wujud nyata yang berkelanjutan dalam pengembangan sentra bisnis yang harum dengan pengelolaan aneka minyak atsiri dengan profitable target.
Golden Opportunity Essential Market as a source of natural wealth of Indonesia and the potential world market.
