Cannabinoid biomass markets continue to confirm the rumblings of scarcity as the spread between old and new crop prices widens. Old crop biomass is trading around $0.10 to $0.125 per point CBD, and inventories are still quite large. However, CBD content available at this price point is diminished to 3% to 5% CBD which explains the $0.40 to $1.00 per pound price range for lower quality old crop. Higher quality old crop (>8% CBD) prices typically range from $1.20 to $2.00 per pound, with reported per point CBD prices ranging from $0.175 to $0.25.

Old crop biomass trade volumes are still steady, with average quality material trading between $0.75/lb to $1.25/lb ($0.10-$0.15/per point CBD) and higher quality material trading up to $1.60/lb ($0.20/per point CBD). The northeast remains the highest price point at $2.00/lb ($0.25/per point CBD). Meanwhile, quality new crop biomass is less common, and most sellers hold offers at $2.00/lb or more.

The majority of harvest is over, and biomass markets are still digesting inventories post-harvest. Buyers are still posting $0.75/lb to $1.20/lb ($0.10-$0.15/per point CBD), but trade below $1.00/lb ($0.125/per point CBD) has dried up quickly. In terms of volume, most of the material traded was well preserved old-crop material or excess 2021 harvests. Significant volumes of old crop inventories are still available, and many of these suppliers would be willing to sell at $1.00/lb. However, these supplies are becoming increasingly difficult to source, and freight is becoming more and more of a factor. It is extremely difficult to determine the true availability of old crop biomass stocks. Still, market reports and estimates suggest that 2019 & 2020 supplies could be anywhere from 15 to 40 million pounds of viable material.
