Hello bigben1-ga!
This ended up being quite the undertaking! To make it more useful for
you, I?ve compiled my research into two lists: (1) a list by essential
oil, and (2) a list by country. That way you can use whatever format
best suits your needs. I have also included my reference websites at
the end of the answer. Here is what I found.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Before launching into a listing by oil and country, I?ve included a
few things that I would consider background into the question. The
first thing I found is a listing of the 20 most utilized essential
oils worldwide. The list comes from a paper published within the
Perdue University Department of Horticulture.
1. Orange
2. Cornmint
3. Eucalyptus (cineole-type)
4. Citronella
5. Peppermint
6. Lemon
7. Eucalyptus (citronellal-type)
8. Clove leaf
9. Cedarwood (U.S.)
10. Litsea cubeba
11. Sassafras
12. Lime
13. Spearmint
14. Cedarwood (Chinese)
15. Lavandin
16. Sassafras (Chinese)
17. Camphor
18. Coriander
19. Grapefruit
20. Patchouli

According to a paper entitled ?An Economic Study of Essential Oil
Production in the U.K.,? there are four countries that dominate the
essential oil market worldwide.
?Four countries dominate the international scene: Brazil, Indonesia,
China and India, due to their large population and internal
consumption of essential oils, their investment in scientific and
technical training, their strong economic position for a limited range
of products and well developed export businesses.?

The Australian government gives a similar list of major producers of
essential oils worldwide. They identify Brazil, China, the United
States, USA, Egypt, India, Mexico, Guatemala, and Indonesia.

ESSENTIAL OILS WITH COUNTRIES OF PRODUCTION
Here is a list of essential oils, along with countries where they are
produced. I?ve included oils that were most frequently referenced
during my search. While a number of these oils are produced worldwide,
I?ve included the countries most commonly referred to as ?major?
producers.
