Supply Chain Sustainability

We are receiving a lot of inquiries on supply of Agarwood Oil and Chips from foreign buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions are the following;

  1. How much volume can you supply on a regular basis? Monthly let say?
    Assumptions: There are more or less 150kg of good quality chips to collect for 1kg of extracted oil. that cost around a minimum of one million peso. Chips could be coming from 38 trees if we can collect 4kgs max of chips per tree. From 75 trees of 2kgs chips. You do your math now with the number of trees planted in your farm.
    Can you now determine the volume of harvest from your end? Are you confident to say that indeed you can supply on a sustainable basis? Answer is NO if doing it individually but CAN if we do it collectively particularly for the small growers. Again, we do it the coop way to meet up the demand of supply. Small individual investors will end up losing investments if they cannot cope up with the sustainable supply.
  2. Can you guarantee the consistency in the production quality? or maybe coming from one source of Agarwood Plantation?
    One factor so to be consistent with the quality is the use of genetically the same species, same nano material base inoculant, same fluid extraction configurations and the laboratory testing.
    Looking at the big picture, raw materials should be coming from the same stock inventory, with the same inoculant for the inducement of oleoresin and the process of extraction of essential oil itself. then, go for the laboratory testing.
