Jasmine buds at Phuket's Talat Kaset market hit 1,400–1,500 baht/kg before Mother's Day (11–12 August 2026), up from a usual ~1,000 baht/kg, because supply fell short of demand. Some flower shops could not get enough jasmine to string wrist garlands. If you sell flowers or garlands, expect higher input costs and tight stock this week; holding prices or pricing garlands with the spike in mind can protect margins. Demand for wrist garlands is expected to stay strong through the holiday.
