Dear all,

I am a Malaysian working in Thailand and my company is going into the cultivation of AGARWOOD/GAHARU in a big way. We are looking for reliable parties to conduct innoculation on the trees. Any party who has such expertise, please contact me at patch.msg@mail.com.

Hi bro, I found 2 supplier local (sabah) selling for RM1 per tree. Friend bought the whole bunch and made deal with him to provide more.
I have seen his innoculations (my friends ones). sadly i cant post the pics. Amazing results in 6-8months how the gaharu is forming on this trees.
All the best...

Good to see that the thread is alive! I will try to answer the question to my best understanding.

1. Who is making money in Malaysia? I say the illegal poachers! Most of the gaharu sold in the market (or black market) are taken illegally from the wild. Gaharu plantation is still very new in Malaysia so gaharu produced in large-scale plantation is very small in quantity. You can make a living selling gaharu seedlings because there is a high demand but finding the planting material is going to be challenging.

2. I know a number of people that has planted gaharu but they havent harvested it yet. Chips fetch a higher price compare to oil.

3. There are a high demand of chips and oil in Japan, China, Taiwan, and Middle East. Alot of European perfume manufacturer are looking for a reliable source of oil for their perfume.

jika73 & Sham903n and whoever is in Sabah: Hey guys! Interested to meet up in Kota Kinabalu on a weekend to chat about gaharu? I should be around on the 1st or the 2nd Of November 2008. It will be a friendly gathering like what we have done in June with amir and neilson. Dont worry, no admittance fee will be charged but you have to buy our own drinks lah!

pasal gaharu dan ICT terkini layari http://wangmali.blogspot.com dan ape kata kita kumpulkan semua maklumat pasal gaharu di dalam satu web pastu senang la.....member2 kita nak dapat info....

hehehe saje tak de keje......................

eehtsitna, i'll be in KK from 29th oct til the 31st, ermm mind if we hook up somewhere overthere? and jika73 too... gimme a buzz since i'm not familiar with KK. i'll be staying at The Berjaya Palace Hotel

Hi Guys
I am interested, what happenned about all the interest in the Agarwood was it because of what the jolly green giant said. I must admit I have read all of the past posts and I checked up. There are a few companies advertising that they will sell the young trees at £33 each and the cost of the tres in total would be 300 X 33 = lets just say £10000 plus £1000 per year for management and after 6 years they will sell the trees at £200 each = £60000 less costs = £44000 (this includes the deduction of the kits) It all seemed to good to be true and I know why now. It is a bit dissapointing as I was looking for a business to get into so I could come and live in your country. Jolly Green Giant if you have more info on either oil palm or Rubber trees I would be interested. I recon I would need 30 to 50 Hectares for the rubber plantation. What is the likely hood of finding that amount of land and what would it cost. Thanks to all you guys for some interesting reading. In my opinion it was a bit of a scam Google "Touchwood Investments Scam" and you will see what I mean. Going by the figures from Vietenam it would be almost pointless to grow agarwood. In the long run it is best to go for the Rubber Plantation. If any one wants to shed some info I am all ears and maybe we could all benefit from the information. The main thing is guys dont stop looking for a way to make money in a different way go with the flow. If one idea fails close it like a finnished book pick up another and start to read another book. That comes fro a psychologist not me the wife LOL!!!! hope I get some feed back cheers guys!

I think jollygreengiant had brought many people down to earth. I think the figure of 100 million VND to 300 million Vnd per hectare of agarwood quoted by the government does not apply universally. We must understand that vietnam is still a very autocratic society and much of it is still been controlled by government. In vietnam where the average monthly wage of a factory worker is 900000 Vnd Per 2 month i.e. they are paid bi-monthly earning 100 million VND is a huge sum of money.

Corruption there is rife and a lot of the costs went into greasing the officials palm.

A more accurate estimate would be to look at the current market price from the buyer's end and then working backwards. Farmers will always earn much less than the middlemen and this has become a fact of life in capitalistic societies. Farmers themselves should try to move up the value chain and if they can't form their own cooperatives. In this way they will be able to command a much higher value for their product.

I still think agarwood planting and processing is still viable as a business. Farmers can always go for niche market alone or jointly with other producers.
