Putz Agarwood Farm Corporation (PAFC) is a legally registered Philippine agribusiness dedicated to the sustainable cultivation, propagation, and production of Aquilaria malaccensis, the tree species that produces the world’s most precious fragrant resin—agarwood.
Founded in 2019, PAFC was established with the vision of positioning the Philippines as a leading player in the global agarwood industry, anchored on ethical forestry, scientific innovation, and inclusive community development.
Through its integrated model—encompassing plantation development, contract farming, scientific inoculation, and value-chain partnerships—PAFC ensures that every stage of agarwood production adheres to environmental integrity, CITES compliance, and fair-trade principles.
PAFC collaborates closely with local growers, academic institutions, and ASEAN partners to advance biotechnology-driven cultivation, including Fusarium oxysporum and MnO₂-based inoculation, as well as the deployment of the BarIno MycoChem™ dual-action inoculant blend.
By promoting sustainable agroforestry practices and community-based livelihood programs, PAFC not only produces premium-grade agarwood chips and oil but also contributes to climate-resilient landscapes and rural empowerment across the Philippines.
