Conservative estimate; actual figures vary with resin quality and market demand.


📈 Key Observations

  1. High ROI Potential: Agarwood plantations using Agaris™ Elite clones can recover initial investment by Year 4–5.
  2. Uniform Growth: Clonal plantlets ensure predictable yield per hectare.
  3. Scalability: Model scales linearly for 5–10 ha estates.
  4. Risk Mitigation: Survival rate, resin induction success, and market price are the main variables.
  5. Premium Export Value: Fully traceable Elite plantlets support high-grade export pricing.

💡 Optional Enhancements

  • Agroforestry integration (sandalwood, nutmeg, Manila elemi) can diversify revenue streams.
  • Digital traceability via QR codes can improve buyer confidence and market price.
  • Improved resin induction techniques may increase yield per tree to 0.7–1.0 kg/tree by Year 10.
