Sustainability | Cultivation | Induction | Harvesting | Reforestation
- Tree Maturity
- Harvest only Aquilaria trees aged 7–12 years (plantation) or 15+ years (wild).
- Resin should be fully formed—confirmed by GC–MS profiling or increment borer checks.
- Selective Harvesting
- Instead of cutting down the entire tree, extract only infected resinous wood sections.
- Preserve healthy tissues for tree survival and regeneration.
- Sustainability Cycle
- Apply rotation harvesting plans so plantations always have trees at different maturity stages.
- Replant seedlings after each harvest to maintain stock.
- Quality over Quantity
- Mature trees yield higher resin concentration, producing superior oil and chips.
- Controlled harvesting ensures premium-grade agarwood with better market value.
Practicing controlled harvesting protects the long-term viability of plantations, increases economic returns, and supports biodiversity conservation.
