The Burden of Obtaining Oud or Agarwood
Posted by: AgarWoodIndonesia in agarwoodindonesia Add commentsRecently we have guest from arabianoud company. One of the biggest and the largest Oud company ever exist on earth. It was very pleasing and exciting visit since we are a new born baby and being visit by such giant.
It was the toughest day of my life. Well I never work out with heavy loads before like 150 Kg of Oud woods. Grading them in the sun, picking each one of the them from a several huge pile of woods.
Wood business isn’t glamor like it may seem, it’s exhausting, complex and sometimes it can make you loosing friends or even your life.
Hunting agarwood in the wild isn’t as easy as people buy them in the mall. Malaria, wild animal sometimes your own teamate is your enemy or other guys that having bad intention. Why? Since agarwood is precious things when you get it, it worth something so it can bring greeds to your minds and who knows. There are alot of stories about people missing in the jungle in their seek for oud or agarwood especially in Kalimantan (Borneo) also in Papua.
This explain why agarwood price is very high. Because of it’s extensive labor and harshness in obtaining it.
Also the papers that make you go here and there if you dont have the correct lines. It’s a lesson to me. I think in the future if I got enough doze of capital I will stick with the oil.
Thank You for reading
