Bitter Kola Prices

Bitter kola (Garcinia kola) commands high prices due to its established medicinal properties and growing pharmaceutical interest. The kolaviron compound has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in research, driving demand from the supplement and pharmaceutical sectors.

Supply is constrained because bitter kola trees take 7-10 years to mature and cannot be easily cultivated at scale. Wild harvesting remains the primary source, limiting supply growth.
