Agarwood – “Wood of the Gods” or one of the most expensive fragrant wood in the world (part 2)
From ancient times in folks exists an item that is considered the most noble, sacred and valuable which is called Agarwood or Oud or Gaharu. (continued)
So, what about the misconception about “industrial Agarwood”?
Based on forming mechanism of wild Aquilaria, people now can be able to cultivated them by their natural way of growth. Thus, this explanation refutes misconceptions about “industrial Agarwood”.
After years of research, people knew how to stimulate the trunk of Aquilaria tree, often called the “take impact on the tree” stage by implanting ants or other insects to make nests on the trunk, or some other microorganisms, etc. to stimulate the plant to form Agarwood.
As such, this explanation rejects the misconceptions about the definition of “industrial Agarwood” being misunderstood in the market because of the whole process from forming to processes of producing products from Agarwood is completely natural and made by human’s hands as a folk craftsmanship.

Agarwood in legend and belief
For long time ago, Agarwood has occupied an irreplaceable role in religious belief. In many legends, Agarwood does not belong to the mundane world but to the scent of the spiritual realm, of Nirvana, and the Noble One.
The incensation of Agarwood was mentioned in Christianity at the end of the 4th century in Jerusalem when celebrating the Mass waiting for the resurrection of Jesus. For Muslims, it is considered as a treasure, an extraordinary precious gift given to human beings. This is the reason why Agarwood is widely used in many official compulsory rituals of Muslims.

To ensure the demand for raw materials, businesses now has invested and focused more on the work of forest resource restoration. For example, Aquilaria Crassna plantations in Vietnam usually operate on the principle “For every 1 tree that is harvested, plant to replace 10 to 11 saplings”. Then, after 10 – 11 years, for each mature tree down, there’ ll already have 10 – 11 other trees for replacing, bringing a afforestation rate of 10-11 times higher the rate of exploitation.
With this “1 – 10” planting-harvesting method, Agarwood manufacturer can both ensure the demand for raw materials, strictly control input material quality, and contribute to the restoration of forest resources.
That also is the responsibility of a Agarwood manufacturer to protect the forests and environment for economic subtainable development, contributing to the trend of environmental protection in the civilized world with green, eco-friendly modern lifestyle.
