4. What is
Aquilaria?
Asia Forestry Management
Agarwood is a precious resinous wood forming in Aquilaria trees, native to the Southeast Asia region. The dark
resin is formed as an antibody for healing after injury or fungus infection. The agarwood is widely used in perfume
and cosmetic industry, and religious activities.
Agarwood trees are registered as an endangered species by CITES due to its precious value, causing illegal wood
smuggling. AFM is supporting the regeneration of this species from its managed plantations.
www.asiaforestry.com
Thailand has been recognized worldwide as a source of premium quality agarwood; however, most of the current
agarwood supply is derived from the wild cutting due to illegal logging.
In respect of tree conservation, the concept of Aquilaria plantations was initially developed in Thailand, with
inoculation techniques, capable of providing premium quality agarwood comparable to the natural source.
Plantation
All AFM plantations are located in Trat province, next to
the Cambodian border providing perfect growing conditions
for aguilaria and agarwood inoculation.
40 plantations currently able to supply more than 60,000
trees and the inoculated trees account for 40% of total trees.
Trat is also known as the ‘Fruit capital’ of the world. The
380 kilometer stretched forest grounds, the very fertile soil
and the rainy climate make Trat the most perfect place for
our plantations. The best Agar oil from Thailand comes from
this region. Trat is situated near the Cambodian border.
