Aquilaria

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.

Thailand has been recognized worldwide as a source of premium quality agarwood; however, most of agarwood supply is derived from wild cutting or illegal logging. In respect of tree conservation, the concept of Aquilaria plantations was initially developed in Thailand, with inoculation techniques, capable to provide premium quality agarwood comparable to the wild source.

Our PlantationsAll AFM plantations are located in Trat province, next to the Cambodian border providing perfect growing conditions of agarwood inoculation.60 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.
