Factors Affecting Inulin Prices
Inulin is a natural carbohydrate that is found in a variety of plants, including chicory root, Jerusalem artichokes, and garlic. It is used as a dietary supplement and has a variety of health benefits.
In Australia, the average price of inulin has been steadily increasing over the past few years. This is due to a number of factors, including the rising cost of raw materials, increased demand from overseas markets and the relatively strong Australian dollar. Factors that can also affect the price include the type of plant the inulin is sourced from, the extraction method used, and the purity of the product.
Despite these increases, inulin remains a relatively affordable dietary supplement, especially when compared to other similar products on the market. This is likely to continue to be the case in the future, as Australia is one of the world's leading producers of this natural compound.
