Agarwood, also known as Oud, Gaharu, or Aloeswood, is one of the most valuable and rare aromatic woods in the world. It forms in certain species of Aquilaria trees when the tree becomes naturally infected or stressed. In response, the tree produces a dark, fragrant resin that transforms the wood into highly prized Agarwood.
This resin-rich wood is known for its deep, complex, and long-lasting aroma. Because of its rarity and slow natural formation process, Agarwood is considered more valuable than many precious metals in certain global markets.
Agarwood forms when Aquilaria trees develop a natural defense mechanism against fungal infection or environmental stress. Over several years, the tree produces resin that darkens and hardens the inner wood, creating the aromatic heartwood known as Oud.
Agarwood cultivation in India is growing rapidly due to increasing global demand. Sustainable agarwood plantation practices help protect natural forests while creating economic opportunities for farmers and rural communities.
