Production Of Batana Oil and Limitations

With the rising demand of authentic Batana Oil today, it is important to understand the limitations of production and what makes Batana oil so expensive and sought after.

Many of you already know how batana oil is made by our video here.

However something many of you are not aware of is the working conditions of those who have to harvest batana oil.

These are some of the pictures below of the manual labor of batana oil and how it was affected by the amount of flooding recently in Honduras.

Please keep this in mind when ordering batana oil and the delay it might take. Batana Oil production is affected by delays in Hand Labor, delays in production from weather and so many more factors as this oil is hand made then packaged and shipped from Honduras!
