Plantations
Millions of trees have been planted throughout the natural growing regions of Asia and the Assam region of India with varying success and ultimate ownership at the point of harvest.
In Assam, Ajmal Perfumes estimate there are 55 million trees planted and many of these are over 20 years old. Vietnam alone believes they will have 30,000 hectares planted to Aquilaria by 2010. Other plantations are being established in Thailand, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Laos, Cambodia, and southern China.
The question is security and ownership of these valuable trees at the time of harvest. This is where Australian agarwood plantations become very attractive along with the reputation Australian farmers have for quality, safety, and environmental respect for the future. WA intends to assist farmers and growers for the planting of 500,000 trees per annum in its licensed region.
