A planned resource, not a plundered one
Scientific plantation models reduce pressure on naturally occurring resources — turning agarwood into a planned agricultural and industrial resource rather than only a forest-linked commodity.
Five commitments, in order
The sustainability model
- Cultivation
- Scientific inoculation
- Legal harvesting
- Value addition
- Replantation
Scientific plantation models reduce pressure on naturally occurring resources. Agarwood becomes a planned agricultural and industrial resource rather than only a forest-linked commodity.
The aim is to help growers earn across the tree's economic life — not only through the sale of a standing tree.
Who earns along the chain
- Farmers
- Plantation owners
- Collectors
- Skilled workers
- Inoculation technicians
- Raw-material processors
- Distillation operators
- Packaging workers
- Perfume manufacturers
- Traders
- Exporters
- Logistics providers
An economy that starts at the homestead
Most raw material in Assam comes from private, largely homestead planting. Treating that as the base of an organised industry — with inoculation, grading, distillation and export handled locally — is what turns a standing tree into a livelihood that lasts.
Golaghat's ODOP platform can bring farmers, FPOs, processors, distillers, laboratories, manufacturers, exporters, buyers and government agencies into one agarwood ecosystem.
Three pillars
Cultivation
Sustainable, traceable, scientifically managed plantations.
Science and technology
Authentication, DNA identification, inoculation, processing, distillation and testing.
Value addition and export
Premium chips, genuine oil, attars, perfumes and Bakhoor for global markets.
Local resource → Scientific R&D → Value addition → Manufacturing → Branding → Export → Global Oud market.
