Wescorp Agarwood (WA)

WA has the sub license from CA Ltd for the inducement and marketing of cultivated Agarwood products for Australia, Tonga, Fiji and Vanuatu. Please visit www.cultivatedagarwood.com.

As far as we can work out the first seeds were bought into Australia in 2006 by Freelance Forestry Services. Some of those trees are still in Western Australia. For seed supplies, they can be contacted at sammyasp@bigpond.com.

WA imported its first 7 kgs of seeds to Australia in 2007 with the help of Tom Cullity. In cooperation with successful growers it plans to have Aquilaria plantations established throughout its licensed zones. It is our intention to have farmers planting up 500,000 trees in the region per annum.

Since 2007, WA has been working with Dr Tony Page from the James Cook University setting trials for the growing of agarwood in Queensland. Tony can be contacted at Tony Page tony.page@jcu.edu.au.

During 2009 there has been 50,000 Aquilaria trees planted in Queensland by growers with an agreement with WA. These trees will be harvested in 7 to 8 years.

By 2015, WA anticipates building a processing factory in FNQ for the servicing of this old industry in a new environment of Australia and the Pacific. We are looking forward to export sales in excess of $100 million per annum when we reach capacity around 2020.

If you wish to be a grower and you farm in far north Queensland please contact our office.
