Guar Seed Prices, Demand and Supply Overview
In the United States, the highest-cost reporting region, Guar Seed prices rose near 6.3% in Q3 2026, moving from just under USD 880/MT in Q2 to just above USD 935/MT in Q3, and it was a short crop, low stocks, and speculative buying on exchanges that most plausibly shaped the move. Across the tracked regions, the global average rose from roughly USD 740/MT in Q2 to close to USD 791/MT in Q3, a gain of about 6.9%. For Q4 2026, a global average of near USD 744 to 870/MT is expected, with the new crop size, monsoon progress, and guar gum demand guiding the range.
Guar seed is the small, hard seed of the cluster bean plant grown in semi arid regions, and its endosperm is split and milled into guar gum, a galactomannan used as a thickener. Processors turn it into guar splits and guar gum for food thickening, oil and gas drilling and hydraulic fracturing fluids, textiles, paper, and cosmetics, with guar gum production taking almost all of the demand. Monsoon rainfall and sown area, stocks, guar gum demand from oilfield and food users, exchange speculation, and freight rates all feed into the price.
Guar Seed Price Forecast for 2026
The balance of supply and demand for guar seed through the end of 2026 leans firm. Indian output was estimated at roughly half of normal, and sown area in Rajasthan and Gujarat was well below last year. Several gum processing plants have closed, and farm level stocks are low, which supports prices into the new crop arrivals.
The main upside risk is a poor monsoon or crop damage that cuts the harvest further and lifts prices above the forecast range. The main downside risk is better than expected yields together with weaker oilfield and food demand, which would pull prices below the forecast.

| United States | 879 - 1,030 | Freight and duties hold a firm premium |
| China | 841 - 985 | Origin firmness supports a high level |
