Agarwood Tree Pictures

Not all trees in the forest can produce agarwood; there are only specific types of trees that work to secrete the resin used in agarwood oil or fumigation production. These types of trees belong to the genus Aquilaria. Below are some pictures for your reference.

Growing agarwood (Aquilaria)

It was necessary to use modern technology to quickly grow Aquilaria trees to fulfill the increasing demand for agarwood . Growing occurs when the seeds are in the stage of maturity but without proper management and planning, the seeds lose their viability very quickly, especially when exposed to the environment.

Sustainable production of Agarwood?

Global reports indicate that the indiscriminate harvest of Agarwood-producing trees is threatened with extinction throughout Southeast Asia, especially in their habitat. The agarwood trees in Malaysia and Vietnam are among the most extinct in the world. Therefore, those countries have implemented restrictions and rules to regulate the trade and preserve the original and genetic resources of Aquilaria trees. Additionally, they carried out extensive cultivation  to maintain sustainable production, prevent plant decease, and sustain diversity.
