Hi eehtsitna,
any news and whats the results of the test done by Sabah Forest Dept on the inoculation by Professor Robert Blanchette?

My friend already started 2 year ago 33 acres with sub integra from Thailand, Im plainning for 17 acre, im just wondering if I can do cloning with his trees via cuttings. Any comments or ideas?

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..

I will be in KK end of May "Pesta Menuai", are you in KK or Sandakan? The "cutting" I have in mind will be combine with another borrowed technology to increase its root growth and tree growth within few weeks, this will be an interesting experiment. About the lots of branches... isnt that a good thing? 1 tree = 3 or 4 tree (like in the picture below).. also with this 1 tree I can combine other type of agarwood in 1 tree, which means type A tree with 3 branch cut 1 branch replace with type B branch.. just an idea..



"If I tell you, I have to kill you" just joking .. i cant tell you bro.. not without his consent.. I doubt he will..

I would love to have a visit to your plantation at sg.merab,bangi.. sometime
Im going back to KK,Sabah (to do testing on other project) next week
and will take pictures of my friends plantation and with permission post it here
see ya soon

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 Species http://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! Cheers

I've been warned about others trying to gain control on your plantation (directly or indirectly).. we must make a correct choice from the start...



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).

From the figure above, If I have cultivated 500 trees per acre so 500 x 17acre x RM640 = RM5,440,000. Well I dont mind waiting for that amount of $.

eehtsitna
count me in...

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...
