Sumatra Agarwood
History
Agarwood (Aquilaria spp.) has been recognized for thousands of years as a valuable commodity in the Middle East, South Asia and Southeast Asia. Historical records show that agarwood was used in religious ceremonies, traditional medicine, and as a luxurious fragrance since the time of Ancient Egypt, Rome, and the Chinese Dynasty.
In Indonesia, agarwood is mainly produced from the species “Aquilaria malaccensis” and “Aquilaria microcarpa”. This wood is formed by infection with the fungus “Phialophora parasitica” or similar, which produces high-value aromatic resins.
