Description

Sources of Cloves Flowers

Cloves Flowers are harvested from the clove tree (Syzygium aromaticum), a native evergreen of the Maluku Islands in Indonesia, now widely cultivated across tropical regions. Madagascar is one of the world’s leading producers and exporters of cloves, alongside Indonesia, Tanzania (particularly Zanzibar), Sri Lanka, and Comoros.

During the cleaning and processing of harvested cloves, the flower heads naturally separate from the stems and buds. These clove heads, known as Cloves Flowers, are collected separately from Cloves Stems, and both are graded and sold as distinct commercial products used across various industries.

1. Indonesia: The largest global producer and consumer of cloves, largely for the domestic kretek cigarette industry.
2. Madagascar: A major exporter of cloves and clove by-products, including Cloves Flowers and Cloves Stems, known for high oil content.
3. Tanzania (Zanzibar): Historically one of the most prominent clove-growing regions.
4. Sri Lanka & Comoros: Established producers contributing steadily to global supply.
