Try to adjust to 25% 0r 30% that will be make you much more richer but why not try plant
it your self it not much thing to do like pruning the tree,cut out grass near by the plant ,use
organic fertilizer and watch out for tree worms.Try out plant Aquilaria Sub-integra it grow very fast
than Aquilaria Malaccensis.Try ask if the professor did buy back agar wood chip from farmer.
Agar wood plant is very strong when you cut down from harvest it will grow out many small
branch so choose the biggest branch to wait for second harvest and continue until many time.
The substrain of tree we use only takes 4 years to grow and then inject. We have a fungus treatment created in the USA which provides us with at least AA grade oil, ranging at RM40,000 per litre(it takes 4 trees to make one litre). So your 7 year forecast is for local substrain of tree, which does not produce much oil anyway.

I will try my best to explain it in detail.
In timber plantation establishment, the first thing that you have to consider is what sort of spacing that you want to use for your plot. You can either choose a close spacing such as 3x3m which has a planting density of around 1100 tree per hectare. OR you can choose a wide spacing such as 5x5m, 5x6m which has a planting density that is lower than that of the 3x3m spacing mentioned earlier.
There are pros and cons on either approach. The close spacing such as the 3x3m will need more planting material in the initial planting stage and not to mention other resources such as labour, time and modal. This spacing will encourage the tree to compete against each other especially for light (canopy establishment) so the trees will grow vertically. And as for the wide spacing mentioned earlier, there are less tree per hectare so the tree will not have to compete too much against each other compare to the tree planted in a close spacing. The tree will grow horizontally (diameter) instead of growing vertically (height).
For timber production, our priority is to grow trees that is tall and straight with less or no forking at all. It is safe to assume that it is true in agarwood production too like what Happy Farmer has mentioned earlier. BUT there is a catch in using a close spacing for plantation establishment. Sooner or later, you will run out of space for the trees to grow (when canopy establishment is achieve). The growth potential of the tree is capped by this factor and the tree will not be able to grow to its full potential.
This is where THINNING treatment comes into play. Usually 1-2 years after planting, you will have to carry out thinning or else it will not be effective. The thinning process is quite straight forward. It is as if you are playing the role of nature where you select and pick out trees that is not growing well (survival of the fittest). By doing so you will free up space for the remaining tree. If our initial planting density is 1100 tree per hectare, after thinning, we will have a density of around 500-600 tree per hectare. Of course this will add up to your management cost but you can still sell those felled tree to generate some return for the time being.
That is really a mouthful! I will try to post something more detail when i get back to the office tomorrow. Will try my best to answer you guys if you have any question.
PRUNING
Pruning is another standard silvicultural input in tree plantation which is aimed at producing trees without low heavy branches so that long clear boles are formed. The need for pruning depends entirely on the branch development on the lower bole. Well stocked, dense stands discourage early side branch formation and generally require no pruning (Evans 1982). There are two main considerations for pruning, i.e., silvicultural and technical considerations.
Silvicultural considerations
In some species, dead branches soon fall off (natural pruning); in others they persist for many years. For example, Acacia auriculiformis has persistent branches, and pruning must be done if knot-free timber is desired, while such species as Terminalia superba and Neolamarckia cadamba, and most eucalypts have good natural self-pruning ability and rarely need artificial pruning. Eucalyptus grandis and Pinus caribaea are intermediate and have branches persisting for 2-3 years after dying.
Self-pruning is, to some extent, influenced by stand density. Dense, unthinned stands, with trees close together, encourage earlier suppression and death of side branches while they are small. However, the effect on accelerating natural pruning is not much. Of greater importance is the increase in persistence of branches low down the stem in open stands. Where wide spacing and heavy thinning are practised, artificial pruning is essential for all but the most freely naturally self-pruning species if high quality timber is desired.
Technical considerations
The important technical consideration is whether clear, knot-free, and consequently high grade timber is required. For example, wood of such quality is of little importance in plantations grown for:
· Firewood or fuelwood;
· Pulpwood and particle board;
· Low grade sawntimber for uses such as shuttering, and packing cases; and
· Protection purposes such as shelterbelts, erosion control, and stabilisation – in fact, persistent lower branches are often an advantage.
In contrast, clear, knot-free timber is highly desirable or essential for:
1. Veneer production for decorative use, match making, and plywood; knot free timber is needed to ease peeling, improve appearance, and reduce blemishes;
2. High grade constructional timber where uniform strength, and good machining, finishing, and seasoning qualities are important;
3. Various types of poles, e.g. transmission, which need to be smooth for handling, and free of surface snags or holes to prevent entry of fungi or termite into the heartwood which is often not penetrated by preservatives.
THINNING
For most thinning regimes the total volume of timber removed in thinning during rotation amounts to about 40-60 per cent of total production (Evans, 1982). The effects of thinning are:
1. To stimulate diameter growth of the remaining trees;
2. To interrupt stand development by volume reduction, followed by recovery;
3. To redistribute future growth on fewer trees resulting in a stand with a few large trees as opposed to many small ones; and
4. To reduce natural mortality.
Ahmad Zuhaidi and Weinland (2002) suggested that in general, 200 to 300 potential crop trees (PCTs) should be selected for final stand. The desired characteristics of potential crop trees are:
1. Dominant or co-dominant position in the stand;
2. 8 to 9 m bole height;
3. No big side branches;
4. No visible stem damage, disease or epicormic shoots;
5. A straight and vertical trunk;
6. A distinct dominant leader; and
7. No spiral grain or heavy forking.
An even distribution of PCTs is desirable. The selection of small groups of up to 3 trees is permissible. It is not a good practice to sacrifice PCTs for reasons of even distribution when the PCTs reserve does not contain sufficient number of trees. After this stand intervention, the average distance between trees should be 6 to 7 m.
The thinning practice recommended by Ahmad Zuhaidi and Weinland (2002) comprises three main thinning interventions as follows:
First thinning
First thinning is carried out when the average top height of the main crop is about 15 m (preferably diameter at this stage should be around 10 cm). This thinning involves the following steps:
1. Selection and marking of a defined number of potential final crop trees;
2. Removal of trees hampering crown development of the PCTs which could be secondary trees;
3. Removal of wolf trees;
4. Climber control; and
5. Liberation of commercial species in the intervening areas.
Second thinning
Second thinning is carried out when the top height of the main crop averages 20 to 25 m. Three main steps are taken for this operation:
1. Reduction of main crop trees down to PCTs;
2. Climber control on PCTs; and
3. Removal of trees hampering crown development of the selected trees as well as secondary trees.
Third thinning
Third thinning takes place when the average height of the main crop is 30 to 35 m (a 20-year or more rotation is planned). This thinning has two purposes:
1. Reduction of PCTs to the final crop trees ; and
2. Regeneration and final harvest phase (for longer than 20-year rotation), e.g. in the Dryobalanops aromatica stand in FRIM if the next rotation is to be regenerated naturally. Once the regeneration has established itself in sufficient number, felling is carried out to harvest about 50% of the standing stock. The remaining standing stock can be removed when the young regeneration reaches a height of 1.5 m.

In the Lao PDR, farmers sell trees at any age from one year upwards but the older they are the higher the price.
Regarding inducement treatment, the only proven and patented treatment worth applying is the CA Kit. All other techniques (and there are many that can produce resin in agarwood trees) are by far inferior. It simply does not make sense to spend money to grow a tree and then treat it with an inferior technique (especially if it costs more than a CA Kit!).
Furthermore, if you want to export the agarwood legally (with CITES certification) then you will need to declare where the wood came from. Since the patent for CA Kits covers all other inducement techniques it will be easy to catch the person trading the agarwood that has been produced using another technique that infringes the CA Kit patent.
So if you want to maximize your profits from your agarwood trees and stay legal, the CA Kit is your only option. Since most of you are in Malaysia you can contact Healthy Business Sdn Bhd for more information about CA Kits (see: http://www.cultivatedagarwood.com/?page_id=6 ) for their contact numbers.

So please tell us if you have researched the CA Kit? If you visit www.scentedmountain.com you can see good quality chips produced from CA Kits selling for nice prices. I believe only CA Kits can produce good quality chips; I agree that all the other techniques are only good for making oil.
Added on June 7, 2008, 2:29 pm
Also all the other techniques (i.e. other than CA Kits) are illegal.
The CA Kits are not expensive if you consider the high profits that can be made from applying them to agarwood trees. Spend US$30 on a kit and get back at least $200 one year later!
Yes I estimate conservatively US$200 per tree. The assumptions on which this figure are based are that an agarwood tree of 10 - 14cm DBH (diameter at breast height - 137 cm from the ground) is treated with a CA Kit and yields one year later a minimum of 200 grams of good quality agarwood chips which are currently selling at not less than US$1,000/kg at wholesale price in the country of production. As you can see from www.scentedmountain.com the retail price in a consuming country can be much higher. Actually yields of up to 500 grams of good quality agarwood chips per tree (of above size) have been harvested. Besides the good quality agarwood chips, there will also be a kilogram of lower quality agarwood powder (produced when cleaning the chips) worth about US$30 - 50/kg that can be used to make incense or for oil extraction. Hence I consider the US$200/tree is a conservative figure.
this will probably be at around 5-years-of-age (provided you prune them to just one main stem, otherwise a multi-stem tree will take 1 - 3 years longer for the individual stems to reach the right diameter for treatment).
Added on June 8, 2008, 12:10 pmOoo by the way, a planting spacing of 3x3m or a planting density of 1100 tree per hectare is still viable if you are planning to conduct thinning on the trees in 1-2 years time. If you want to save cost and time, you might as well plant it using 4x4m.
Hello All,
I represent a company in Lao PDR called Happy Farmers Co Ltd We are the exclusive distributor of CA Kits for Lao PDR. CA Kits are the only legitimate inducement technology for agarwood trees. The technology is patented or patent is pending in most of the main producing countries and markets for agarwood. This means that if you export agarwood to a country legally (i.e. with CITES certification) you may be infringing the patent if the agarwood was produced using a technology other than CA Kits.
Regardless of the patent protection, CA Kits are the most cost effective way to produce good quality cultivated agarwood, so you would be wasting your money and agarwood trees if you used any other inducement technology.
My main reason for writing today was to inform you of a great investment opportunity. We can offer you 100,000 standing agarwood trees for US$1 million (the plantation is in Lao PDR). They include about 50,000 trees that are ready to treat immediately with CA Kits (they were planted in 2001). Mixed in with those trees are another 50,000 younger trees of various ages that were replanted in the gaps where the original trees died. The buyer can use the land until the last of the trees are harvested.
Other good news for a potential investor is that agarwood trees treated with CA Kits can now be harvested at 10 � 12 months after first treatment. In other words the production cycle has been reduced from the original 2 years to just 1 year thanks to improvements in the potency of the CA Kit technology. (This news was received just this week after a recent visit by Prof. Robert Blanchette of the University of Minnesota - co-inventor of the CA Kit - to assess the latest research results in Vietnam).
We can negotiate later the price that we'd charge for CA Kits (one kit per tree) � but for the time being you can budget $30/tree (including all materials and application service); this price could be significantly reduced in exchange for a share of the trees at harvest time. You should add say another couple of dollars per tree for security/taking care of the trees (i.e. plantation management). Also, to improve access to the plantation, we advise improving the farm road at a cost of $50,000.
So I estimate a total investment of $1,000,000 (trees) + $1,500,000 (CA Kits) + $100,000 (management) + $50,000 (road) + $500,000 (for processing & marketing costs) = US$3,150,000 (focusing on exploiting the 50,000 mature trees only).
In return, I would estimate conservatively a gross income of 50,000 x $200 = US$10,000,000 after 12 months. (And more money could be made from the 50,000 younger trees in later years).
I reckon this is real bargain and I wish we could finance this deal ourselves but our limited cash resources are already invested in CA Kits and agarwood trees. We are making this offer to other potential buyers, so it's a case of "first come, first served".
Best regards,
Happy Farmer.

Looking from these pictures, I think you're goin to have tough competition from Thai growers.
Those trees are not so good - they are too tall and thin and they should not have multiple stems. Objective should be to maximise the yield of agarwood per CA Kit, not per hectare of land (because your most expensive input is the CA Kit not the land or tree).

You should see how my land looks like. It's like a forest. I called the supplier of the trees and he said he's willing to plant the trees at a cost. RM2 per tree and he will monitor your trees for 3 months. The supplier will do a survey at my land soon. This is the same person I bought the trees from late last year, Jasben Plantation. They sell it RM5 per tree. I don't know where you could get it much cheaper.
Jasben plantation? Is it the company based in Kelantan? The price for the seedling is reasonable. Regarding the Rm2 per tree planting service, does the cost cover the 3 month monitoring operation? Or was it Rm2 per tree per month?
My friend is not in Malaysia at the moment. Will try to contact him and ask him regarding the contractor when he is back.
The best species for gaharu production? That is another grey area that needs to be study intensively. No one can say for sure what species is the best but somehow people has relate each species to the final product that you can get out of it.
A. malaccensis - wood chip
A. crassna - oil
A. subintegra - (i am not sure about this though)
Bear in mind that when you are clearing the land up, you should leave those big tree around to give some shade to the karas seedling that you want to plant. Even though karas is a light demanding species, it is good to have some shade early in the planting stage to improve the survival rate. Once the seedling has established itself on the site, then you might consider felling those big tree to free up space and to reduce the competition for the karas tree.
The best inoculation technique? I cannot give any recommendation at the moment because I have only tested 1 technique so far. That is why I am trying to get a friend of mine to source out various inoculation technique out there so that I can test it out and later compare the results. I know where to get the trees for testing. The only problem is I do not have the techniques to test with. Mind you, some people guard this technique as a trade secret and most of the inoculation technique is the market is expensive.

QUOTE(eehtsitna @ Jun 8 2008, 10:36 AM)
May i know on average how much agarwood can a tree in Laos produce and what is the grade for the wood?
We will be harvesting our first batches of trees in Laos later this year, but we expect to get the same results as achieved in Vietnam and Thailand where CA Kits have already been tested. We have already cut some trees earlier than recommended to monitor the development of resin in the tree and everything looks good. I attach a recent photo taken of one such tree. The proud owner is on the right - he owns one of the largest plantations in Laos - several hundred hectares. He is now a Happy Farmer, hence our company's name. I'm holding the saw!
QUOTE(eehtsitna @ Jun 8 2008, 10:36 AM)
Did you ever consider that technique that might work for agarwood tree in Laos might not work in Malaysia? We have our own species of agarwood, different microclimate, soil properties, rainfall and alot of other different factors. Not to mention that we need proof/result to backup our claim. Until some research is done on this in Malaysia, we cannot draw any conclusion or make any claim.
Well there is always scope for improvement and that is exactly what Bob and Henry are doing (i.e. aiming to further increase the performance of the CA Kit technology). However, the CA Kit as it currently stands will work equally well for all species of agarwood and in all countries where agarwood trees grow.

3. Removal of trees hampering crown development of the selected trees as well as secondary trees.
Third thinning
Third thinning takes place when the average height of the main crop is 30 to 35 m (a 20-year or more rotation is planned). This thinning has two purposes:
1. Reduction of PCTs to the final crop trees ; and
2. Regeneration and final harvest phase (for longer than 20-year rotation), e.g. in the Dryobalanops aromatica stand in FRIM if the next rotation is to be regenerated naturally. Once the regeneration has established itself in sufficient number, felling is carried out to harvest about 50% of the standing stock. The remaining standing stock can be removed when the young regeneration reaches a height of 1.5 m.

That's a good idea, wait for 5 years and then sell the trees straight away. If people want to buy it for RM1,000.00 per tree, the return is still good. I can't wait to start this project, it's been almost a year now. I have to ask the contractor to clear my land as soon as possible. Moreover I have to build fence around my land. That would cost a lot also Have you found the best method for inoculation eehtsitna? This thread has become quite popular recently
I am not sure why anybody would pay RM1,000 per 5-year-old-tree without any treatment when they could buy 7-year-old trees from me for less than one tenth of that price! Have you found the best method for inoculation eehtsitna? This thread has become quite popular recently In the Lao PDR, farmers sell trees at any age from one year upwards but the older they are the higher the price.
Regarding inducement treatment, the only proven and patented treatment worth applying is the CA Kit. All other techniques (and there are many that can produce resin in agarwood trees) are by far inferior. It simply does not make sense to spend money to grow a tree and then treat it with an inferior technique (especially if it costs more than a CA Kit!).
Furthermore, if you want to export the agarwood legally (with CITES certification) then you will need to declare where the wood came from. Since the patent for CA Kits covers all other inducement techniques it will be easy to catch the person trading the agarwood that has been produced using another technique that infringes the CA Kit patent.
So if you want to maximize your profits from your agarwood trees and stay legal, the CA Kit is your only option. Since most of you are in Malaysia you can contact Healthy Business Sdn Bhd for more information about CA Kits (see: http://www.cultivatedagarwood.com/?page_id=6 ) for their contact numbers.

So what is the best solution for this problem? Is it because the trees are planted too close to each other or there are other reasons for it?
Yes - too close planting and also lack of correct pruning (to maintain only one leader/main stem) when the trees are young.Added on June 7, 2008, 2:15 pm

Hi Growproject,So please tell us if you have researched the CA Kit? If you visit www.scentedmountain.com you can see good quality chips produced from CA Kits selling for nice prices. I believe only CA Kits can produce good quality chips; I agree that all the other techniques are only good for making oil.

The best inoculation technique? I cannot give any recommendation at the moment because I have only tested 1 technique so far. That is why I am trying to get a friend of mine to source out various inoculation technique out there so that I can test it out and later compare the results. I know where to get the trees for testing. The only problem is I do not have the techniques to test with. Mind you, some people guard this technique as a trade secret and most of the inoculation technique is the market is expensive.
Not sure why you want to do testing when others have already done the testing for you! If I was a Malaysian tax payer I would be complaining about my government wasting my taxes doing unnecessary research! Also all the other techniques (i.e. other than CA Kits) are illegal. The CA Kits are not expensive if you consider the high profits that can be made from applying them to agarwood trees. Spend US$30 on a kit and get back at least $200 one year later!
QUOTE(Sham903n @ Jun 7 2008, 05:25 PM)
I assume is it USD $200 (RM640*as per current exchange rate*) per tree? Im taking your estimate for future calculation because it is much realistic and I gather you have much experience on this trade (estimate conservatively).
Hi Sham903n, Yes I estimate conservatively US$200 per tree. The assumptions on which this figure are based are that an agarwood tree of 10 - 14cm DBH (diameter at breast height - 137 cm from the ground) is treated with a CA Kit and yields one year later a minimum of 200 grams of good quality agarwood chips which are currently selling at not less than US$1,000/kg at wholesale price in the country of production. As you can see from www.scentedmountain.com the retail price in a consuming country can be much higher. Actually yields of up to 500 grams of good quality agarwood chips per tree (of above size) have been harvested. Besides the good quality agarwood chips, there will also be a kilogram of lower quality agarwood powder (produced when cleaning the chips) worth about US$30 - 50/kg that can be used to make incense or for oil extraction. Hence I consider the US$200/tree is a conservative figure.
QUOTE(Sham903n @ Jun 7 2008, 05:25 PM)
I have cultivated 500 trees per acre
I reckon that's nearly 1,250 trees per hectare. I believe around 800 - 850/hectare would be better. Anyhow, you can still produce agarwood at the higher tree density but just remember to give Healthy Business a call when your trees are big enough this will probably be at around 5-years-of-age (provided you prune them to just one main stem, otherwise a multi-stem tree will take 1 - 3 years longer for the individual stems to reach the right diameter for treatment).

We researchers are a bunch of curious people. Did you ever consider that technique that might work for agarwood tree in Laos might not work in Malaysia? We have our own species of agarwood, different microclimate, soil properties, rainfall and alot of other different factors. Not to mention that we need proof/result to backup our claim. Until some research is done on this in Malaysia, we cannot draw any conclusion or make any claim. Also all the other techniques (i.e. other than CA Kits) are illegal.Added on June 8, 2008, 12:10 pmOoo by the way, a planting spacing of 3x3m or a planting density of 1100 tree per hectare is still viable if you are planning to conduct thinning on the trees in 1-2 years time. If you want to save cost and time, you might as well plant it using 4x4m.

QUOTE(amirbashah @ Jun 8 2008, 11:32 AM)
But what do you mean by pruning?
I mean that when the young agarwood tree is growing (even when it is still in the nursery) it often has a tendency to form two or more main stems, i.e. one or more of the branches tends to become more dominant than is desirable and so it starts to compete with the original main stem. If this side branch is not removed it will form a main stem leading to a mature tree with more than one main stem or trunk. Not all side branches do this, so I don't mean you should cut off all the side branches - but where one side branch starts to become equal in size to the main stem then you can either cut it off or just cut it back a little to reduce its apical dominance. Later on it is good to cut off the lower side branches so that you have a nice clear stretch of main stem in which to apply the CA Kit (because it's difficult to work on a tree when there are many side branches in the way).
QUOTE(amirbashah @ Jun 8 2008, 11:32 AM)
I've called the company which you've mentioned (happy .......?) but unfortunately the worker/officer/manager was on MC that day. I'll call back on Monday. I'm quite interested in the CA kit but USD30 is quite high don't you think? It's near to RM100 per kit. If I have 1000 trees, I would need around RM100,000 to buy the CA kit. That's the current price for the kit, don't forget the price will increase in the future (hopefully not).
You need to call the Healthy company not the Happy one! Actually I don't know what is the price of CA Kits in Malaysia, that depends on Healthy Business. US$30 is our price in Lao PDR for a number one size CA Kit (including the booster treatment and application service).I agree that if you have a lot of trees the financial investment to treat them with CA Kits can be very high, but then so can the payback. One strategy would be to treat as many of the trees as you can afford one year, then 12 months later after you have harvested and sold the agarwood you can reinvest your income in treating the remaining trees, i.e. you don't have to treat all 1,000 trees at the same time. |
Hello All,
I represent a company in Lao PDR called Happy Farmers Co Ltd
Regardless of the patent protection, CA Kits are the most cost effective way to produce good quality cultivated agarwood, so you would be wasting your money and agarwood trees if you used any other inducement technology.
My main reason for writing today was to inform you of a great investment opportunity. We can offer you 100,000 standing agarwood trees for US$1 million (the plantation is in Lao PDR). They include about 50,000 trees that are ready to treat immediately with CA Kits (they were planted in 2001). Mixed in with those trees are another 50,000 younger trees of various ages that were replanted in the gaps where the original trees died. The buyer can use the land until the last of the trees are harvested.
Other good news for a potential investor is that agarwood trees treated with CA Kits can now be harvested at 10 � 12 months after first treatment. In other words the production cycle has been reduced from the original 2 years to just 1 year thanks to improvements in the potency of the CA Kit technology. (This news was received just this week after a recent visit by Prof. Robert Blanchette of the University of Minnesota - co-inventor of the CA Kit - to assess the latest research results in Vietnam).
We can negotiate later the price that we'd charge for CA Kits (one kit per tree) � but for the time being you can budget $30/tree (including all materials and application service); this price could be significantly reduced in exchange for a share of the trees at harvest time. You should add say another couple of dollars per tree for security/taking care of the trees (i.e. plantation management). Also, to improve access to the plantation, we advise improving the farm road at a cost of $50,000.
So I estimate a total investment of $1,000,000 (trees) + $1,500,000 (CA Kits) + $100,000 (management) + $50,000 (road) + $500,000 (for processing & marketing costs) = US$3,150,000 (focusing on exploiting the 50,000 mature trees only).
In return, I would estimate conservatively a gross income of 50,000 x $200 = US$10,000,000 after 12 months. (And more money could be made from the 50,000 younger trees in later years).
I reckon this is real bargain and I wish we could finance this deal ourselves but our limited cash resources are already invested in CA Kits and agarwood trees. We are making this offer to other potential buyers, so it's a case of "first come, first served".
Best regards,
Happy Farmer.

It's a forest tree and no need to take care of it often.
I wish that was true. Actually the plantation needs to be weeded, protected from fire, livestock and thieves. In the wrong place (e.g. poor draining soil) the trees can die of root rot disease (e.g. Fusarium spp) and leaf eating caterpillars can be a serious pest - they have contributed to the death of many agarwood trees in Lao PDR and Vietnam (and perhaps other countries but I don't have any information about that). However all these problems can be avoided/controlled with proper management. If you see my earlier post you will note that I referred to 50,000 out of 100,000 trees being replanted due to the original trees dying - that was simply because the previous plantation owner did not manage his plantation properly.Added on June 7, 2008, 8:27 am

Im back from a visit to my friends plantations and got some new info (atleast new to me). He is planting multiple types of trees (Sub integra, Crassna, Malaccensis & a Hybrid) from our neighbouring country (cant really say which, but you all know which country that dont have any agarwood tree 10 year ago are now 10 year ahead of us and a major agarwood player, so they are telling that you can get a possible $20k per tree- provided there is no middleman). You can get a young tree for less than RM1 there and he said that the best will be Crassna for chip gaharu or the Hybrid type.. but hybrid having trouble with malaysian climate, but most probable due to the long journey they take to reach here. Also get your self familiar with CITES - Convention on International Trade in Endangered Specieshttp://www.mtc.com.my/mtib_procedure.htm . Regards to inoculations, there, it is sold at RM150 per liter (proven affective base on 10 year experience) compare to RM250-400 (with no proof of affectiveness) sold locally. Its injected at 4th year depends of type of tree - weak 1 will die. The neighbouring country are not secretive on these infos.. if you can understand their language better..
cheers.. 17 acres here I come, ohh 1 more thing.. before you go all out cutting your own forest for plantation.. be sure to check if there is any old karas tree growing on your land.. that tree will give you $$$$$$ in less than 2 years after inoculation! take care goodluck.. I hope the goverment is not reading this and make it harder for us to improve our finacial well being (impose licence/tax/this that anything to churn more money to finance the rakyat money churning project-example-gov funded back seat belts paid by tax money-awarded to companies that put $$ in their pockets!

Please do give me a contact number because I really don't want to delay planting the trees. Just want to ask your opinion, what's the best species of gaharu tree? Mallacensis, Crassna or Subintegra?
Hi all, I'm a newbie to this forumI'd just like to share the same interest in cultivated agarwood in which during my years, there has been loads misleading infos regarding cultivated agarwood. Throughout the threads, I do much agree with eehtsitna regarding the infos. To anyone here who'd like to view a sample on wot an agarwood plantation would be like, or just wanna gain same extra info, or even to actually view the inoculating technique, u guys are most welcome to our humble plantation in Sg. Merab, Bangi. In that particular plantation, we planted a variety of Aq. Malaccensis, Aq. Crassna, Aq. Sub integra and Aq. Hirta (candan) just to compare its growth rate, compatibility and of course the result. As for the rest of our plantations, we focus more on Aq. Sub integra, as from our research with our partner in Trat, it produces more oil and are among the the best oudh oil from cultivated agarwood. (refer 'Cambodian Oudh' pricing) Just contact us for info regarding seedlings, plantation management, inoculants, distillation process and market and sales of gaharu products. Amirbashah, bro i believe that our plantation are quite nearby. We have another plantation at Kg. Limau Manis. Can I know where is ur plantation? and wot species are u planting?

Hi eehtsitna,My friend is not in Malaysia at the moment. Will try to contact him and ask him regarding the contractor when he is back. The best species for gaharu production? That is another grey area that needs to be study intensively. No one can say for sure what species is the best but somehow people has relate each species to the final product that you can get out of it. A. malaccensis - wood chip A. crassna - oil A. subintegra - (i am not sure about this though) from our experience and research since all the inoculants nowdays cannot produce a high quality gaharu in chip form, we feel it is much wiser for gaharu planters to focus more on oil producing. from the 3 species above, cultivated of course, all of them can produce oil, and in the market we found out that the market (esp middle easterners) are quite fond of the oil produced by Aq. Sub integra and are willing to pay quite a price!  So for us, as for now, we prefer to focus more on Aq. Sub integra + a personnel from a government agency did announce that Aq. Sub integra is the best cultivated gaharu producing species during an international gaharu conference recently held during NATPRO @ PWTC But anyhow, all of this can be solve by a good marketing strategy combined with a good sales negotiation |

RM2 per tree and he will monitor your trees for 3 months. The supplier will do a survey at my land soon. This is the same person I bought the trees from late last year, Jasben Plantation. They sell it RM5 per tree. I don't know where you could get it much cheaper.

Bear in mind that when you are clearing the land up, you should leave those big tree around to give some shade to the karas seedling that you want to plant. Even though karas is a light demanding species, it is good to have some shade early in the planting stage to improve the survival rate. Once the seedling has established itself on the site, then you might consider felling those big tree to free up space and to reduce the competition for the karas tree.
The best inoculation technique? I cannot give any recommendation at the moment because I have only tested 1 technique so far. That is why I am trying to get a friend of mine to source out various inoculation technique out there so that I can test it out and later compare the results. I know where to get the trees for testing. The only problem is I do not have the techniques to test with. Mind you, some people guard this technique as a trade secret and most of the inoculation technique is the market is expensive.

at 5th year, you can always sell the trees without inoculation to interested partie$$ oversea$, you dont have to sell the land just the trees and its up to them to innoculate the trees for another 2 years, because its theirs.., you transfer the risk.. they transfer ca$h..
or you can set up a Bhd or Sdn Bhd owning the land planted with agarwood, on the 5th year get a loan from Agro Bank(Bank Pertanian) and inoculate with goverment(rakyat) money... 1 year breathing period just pay service charge use the balance of money to pay 1 year payment... risk bare by your company.. 2years later harvest and pay bank.. need to test on cloning method.. if it works.. I just need 1 cutting from 1 of my friends tree out of the 33 acres .. walla.. super cheap agarwood for 17 acre.. I dont have time for other business.. plus this is passive business untill harvested.. this wont be the only egg in the basket.. just 1 of the basket with eggs.. |

It's abt 5km out of Kuala Pilah town in Negeri 9...
dinmalek, so how r u planning to settle up ur trees? if u have any doubts of doing this u cld always refer to our organization (PENGHARUM)after doing trials after trials bout this gaharu producing propogation, so far we've came out with a method that doest not require any trees to be fallen and the best part is, the kayu is proven by the market. in other words we've sold & exported tonnes of it late last year hope this will help cheers |

Initially I was very interested in starting a gaharu farm. The numbers quoted were all very impressive. Big numbers of selling prices were mentioned. In Sarawak, I was told that inoculation per tree starts at RM250 per tree where as in Sabah I saw in the Net RM100 per tree. I do not know whether this inoculation is Prof Blanchette CA kit or not or some other proprietary process. No sellers of the inoculation kit offers a guarantee of X% of success and of what grade and qty of agarwood will result. Conservatively do you think you can sell for RM1000 per tree? So your expected profit after 7 years will be (Selling price x no of trees infected) - (cost of seedlings-fertilisers - cost of labour and etc to get to harvesting stage - inoculation - land cost- financing cost) x 100% tree planted. The numbers don't seem so sexy.
However, after stating all that, I can make an economic case if a) you have idle land b) you can find a cheap way to inoculate c) cheap ad hoc labour to tend to the plantation from time to time. Lastly find a seller who is willing to buy at your expected price. Unless there is an open and fair way to dispose of this wood, you will be subjected to "mafia" pricing. ie take it or leave it. For me, I probably will embark it as an experiment. Plant a few trees, inoculate it with different kits, compare results. If at the end of the experiment and you stumble upon THE magic formula, you don't need to plant trees. Just sell the kit. It is more lucrative. If one inoculation kit doesn't work, you can still try other kits as long as the tree remains alive. You can google all you want, till now I haven;t come across anyone BUYING your raw wood in Malaysia. Sellers are a plenty. |

1. Go: http://www.martinlee.sg/jardin-smith-international/
2. Search for Asia Plantation Capital in the page.
3. Make your own conclusions - especially if U've been to a Jardine Smith invite (hot women agents usually mean they are hoping men like me will think with wrong head)
