Known as a tree from ‘Heaven’ which is very fragrant and has many benefits
Agarwood tree plantation is one type of plantation business that is currently developing in Indonesia. Agarwood, or what is known as Gaharu, is a type of wood that is very valuable and has a high selling value in the global market. Agarwood is used for various purposes, including the manufacture of perfume, perfume, incense and traditional medicines.
In Indonesia, agarwood plantations are usually planted in areas with suitable climatic and soil conditions, such as in Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Papua. Gaharu trees can be planted in monoculture or in an agroforestry pattern, namely by planting gaharu with other plants such as coffee, cocoa, or fruits.
Agarwood is a type of wood that is very well known in Southeast Asia, especially in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. This wood has a distinctive aroma and is liked by many people, especially in the perfume industry and traditional medicine. However, agarwood also has a long history in the culture and religion of this region.
Agarwood wood is known to contain a chemical compound called gaharu, which is obtained from the liquid sap produced by the gaharu tree when it is damaged or injured in the stems and roots. This compound gives gaharu wood a strong and long-lasting aroma, and is believed to have health benefits such as boosting the immune system and relieving headaches.
In Southeast Asian culture, agarwood is used as fuel in religious rituals and traditional ceremonies. In addition, agarwood is also a symbol of wealth and luxury, and is often used as a gift for relatives or important guests.

However, due to the high and ever-increasing demand for gaharu wood, gaharu trees are being cut down excessively and uncontrollably. This causes a decrease in the number of gaharu trees in the wild and has a negative impact on the environment and ecosystem in the region.
Even though the economic potential of agarwood plantations is very promising, the development of these plantations is still faced with several challenges. One of them is the lack of understanding and knowledge of farmers about good and correct cultivation techniques, as well as sustainable garden management. Apart from that, planting gaharu trees also takes quite a long time to reach the optimal size and produce high quality agarwood.
To overcome these challenges, the Indonesian government has made several efforts to develop agarwood plantations in Indonesia. One way is to provide training and assistance to farmers on good and correct cultivation techniques and garden management. In addition, the government is also encouraging the development of more effective and efficient agarwood cultivation and processing technologies.
