Gaharu or eaglewood production engineering technology, following the composition of the fungal isolates or gaharu resin formation, found the researchers from the Center for Research and Development of Forest and Nature Conservation or patented P3HKA government should immediately before claimed by other countries. Patent is an important finding considering its application in forest communities can improve their welfare because of aloes have high economic value.
Currently Malaysia industriously pursue gaharu production engineering our findings. Malaysia had sent the director general of agriculture to the environment and P3HKA and they asked to adopt the findings, but we rejected for fear that their findings will be claimed. Compared with the study of India and Thailand, according to them, the findings from Indonesia’s most successful, “said Santoso Erdy MS, Chairman of the Microbiological Research Group of Forest P3HKA.
Pig or pig produced gaharu tree species (including Aguilaria spp, Aotoxylon sypetallum, Grynops, and Gonystylus) have high economic value. Selling price is extremely varied in 16 classes, ranging from the cheapest, “Suloan”, valued at Rp 15,000 per kg to the class “Super King” worth USD 26 million per kg. By applying technology P3HKA findings, one gaharu trees aged 4-5 years after inducible isolates can produce 20 kg of pig gaharu within 1-3 years.
High economic value becomes a magnet for farmers to develop gaharu. One of them is initiated in the village of 204 farmers Maringin Jaya, District PARINDU, Sanggau District, West Kalimantan. Although never enjoying direct result of their cultivation of aloes planted since 2004, they were enthusiastic to plant 143,000 trees in the area of gaharu 143 hectares.
To bring environmental conservation value, the Head of West Kalimantan Forest Service plans to distribute Safe Agus gaharu seedlings to farmers in West Kalimantan. Chairman P3HKA Anwar said, the development of aloe as one of the results of non-timber forest needs to pay attention so that the marketing aspect really benefit the farmers.
We have used aloe for perfume or air freshener. In some places the spa, gaharu oil is also used to gulp down the body. Some people also used aloe to treat jaundice or hepatitis. As for prices ranging between Rp aloes 1 million-USD 3 million per kilogram, depending on the quality.
