  1. Geographic Specificity:

    • Agarwood trees (genus Aquilaria) are native to tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia, including countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. The specific conditions required for these trees to produce high-quality agarwood are quite specialized.

  2. Resin Production:

    • Agarwood is formed when the tree undergoes a natural infection or is artificially stimulated to produce resin as a defense mechanism. This resin, which is what makes agarwood valuable, is not always produced and is often in limited quantities.

  3. Growth and Harvesting:

    • It can take several years for agarwood to develop sufficient resin, and the process of harvesting it is labor-intensive and requires expertise. The trees are often old, and finding high-quality resinous wood involves significant effort.

  4. Conservation Concerns:

    • Overharvesting and deforestation have led to a decline in wild populations of agarwood-producing trees. Some species are now classified as threatened or endangered, which further impacts their availability.

  5. High Demand:

    • The demand for agarwood in incense, perfume, and traditional medicine is high, which drives up its value. This high demand exacerbates the pressure on agarwood resources.

Because of these factors, high-quality agarwood is rare and commands a premium price. Efforts to cultivate agarwood sustainably and to manage its resources responsibly are essential to help preserve this valuable natural resource.
