Vietnam Oud – From The Legend to The Practical Applications
This year, our next documentary film by HAGA Oud will bring you a story of how the legend of Vietnam Oud comes to our modern world in the very next part – “Vietnam Oud – From The Legend To The Practical Applications”.
A continuation, but we made it more than just a continuation
Last year, the legendary story of “Vietnam Oud – From The Legend To The World” completed its mission of clarifying the ancient statement of “White the best, Green-blue the second, Yellow-brown the third, Black the fourth” in order to prove that color is not the only factor determining Oud quality. Oud quality must be determined by a combination of the tree species, color, and scent. (Barden, A., N. A. Anak, T. Mulliken, and M. S ong. 2000).
This year, our next documentary film by HAGA Oud will bring you a story of how this legend came to our modern world in the very next part – “Vietnam Oud – From The Legend To The Practical Applications” by stories shared by special characters:

Outstanding growth figures of the Oud industry

According to the chart, we can see that the total Oud output imported into the GCC of each type has changed over the years. Particularly, Oud output from Aquilaria Crassna (the majority species in Vietnam) imported into the GCC skyrocketed from nearly 380 thousand kgs (2017) to more than 800 thousand kgs (2018).
In terms of proportion, although the Aquilaria Crassna output imported into the GCC in 2019 – 2020 decreased slightly (partly due to Covid-19), the Oud output from Aquilaria Crassna still accounts for a high proportion of the total imported Oud output. GCC, always holds the 2nd position, accounting for 37.91% in 2019, and the same position, i.e. 31.9% in 2020, of the total Oud output imported into GCC.
Data prove that Oud products from the Aquilaria Crassna variety still receive a lot of attention from the GCC market.
Total of Vietnam’s Aquilaria crassna exported to GCC
| Year | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 |
| GCC CRASSNA | 668,607.56 | 368,888.72 | 807,080.53 | 762,190.63 | 509,274.97 |
| VIETNAM | 3,249.95 | 209,146.60 | 545,583.74 | 509,901.57 | 220,233.98 |
| % | 0.486076617 | 56.69639443 | 67.59966625 | 66.89948032 | 43.24461029 |
In general, from 2017 – 2019, Aquilaria Crassna output from Vietnam exported to the GCC always accounted for more than half of the total Aquilaria Crassna output exported to the GCC, accounting for 56.69% in 2017, that number increased to 67, 6% in 2018 and 66.8% in 2019.
In 2020, due to the impact of the Covid epidemic, Aquilaria Crassna output from Vietnam exported to the GCC decreased slightly, accounting for 43.24%. However, despite a slight decrease, the proportion of Aquilaria Crassna from Vietnam still accounts for nearly half of the total amount of Aquilaria Crassna imported into the GCC.
The above data proves that the source of Aquilaria Crassna products from Vietnam plays an important role in meeting market demand in Middle Eastern countries.
The trend of using Oud today in general and in Middle Eastern countries in particular
Some popular products today are Smart Oud because of its convenient features, long usage time, cost savings…); along with that, Oud and steaming products have been on the market for a long time.
The demand for using Oud and Oud products in the lives of people in the GCC region is increasing. However, the source of wild products is increasingly scarce, and accordingly, the price of wild products is also increasing.
Faced with the situation of less supply than demand, the price of wild products was pushed up very high and fraud began to appear in the Oud trade with selling prices higher than the real value.
Faced with this situation, Oud manufacturers have researched to produce products of guaranteed quality and affordable prices such as Oud muhasin products (a finished product made from raw materials such as Oud, which has begun to be accepted and trusted by the market).
Therefore, to achieve economic efficiency as well as obtain quality products, customers have turned to processed products as an alternative solution.
