Agarwood in high demand

TACLOBAN CITY — With an extremely high market value due to an increasing demand worldwide and limited supply in forests, there is a mad scramble of agarwood in Leyte with hunters taking a “cat and mouse” chase with forest guards deployed to guard against the indiscriminate cutting of trees.

“The value of agarwood has become too expensive, next only to shabu,” Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Officer (PENRO) Moises de la Cruz quipped, adding that dried and top-quality agarwood can demand a price of up to P1 million.

De la Cruz said his office has deployed additional forest protection officers as well as Bantay Gubat personnel in towns that are considered hotspots for agarwood.

He said at least 15 apprehensions have already been made with over 20 cases, including those involving foreign nationals, being filed in different courts against forest poachers searching for agarwood and among those involved in its illegal trade.

There is currently no technology that could determine if a tree has agarwood, thus, agar hunters cut trees indiscriminately resulting to deforestation in some places. “The cutting of trees is trial and error,” De la Cruz said.

Agarwood has high demand throughout the world as a raw material for incense, perfume and medicinal purposes.

According to research published by the US National Institute of Health, global agarwood prices can range from $20 to $6,000 per kilogram for wood chips depending on its quality, or $10,000 per kilogram for full pieces of wood itself. Meanwhile, the value of agarwood essential oils can fetch as high as $30,000 per kilogram.

The annual global market for agarwood has been estimated to be in the range of $6 to $8 billion, yet a large number of the trades have not been recorded, the NIH research said.

Agarwood is formed in the heartwood of aquilaria trees, locally called lapnisan or lanete, when the tree is wounded and develops a fungal infection to spawn its creation.

Resin is secreted by trees as a defense mechanism to the infections and is deposited around the wounds in years following the injury, where the accumulation of volatile compounds eventually forms agarwood.

Before the infection, the heartwood is odorless, relatively light and pale colored. But when it gets infected, the tree produces a dark aromatic resin, called agar, resulting into a very dense, dark, resin-embedded heartwood.

The PENRO office has no inventory on the number of lapnisan and lanete trees in Leyte but De la Cruz said they are abundant because it naturally grows in the province especially in the towns of Jaro, Carigara and Abuyog.

De la Cruz said those involved in cutting lapnisan and lanete trees will face charges for violation of the Revised Forestry Code of the Philippines and Republic Act 9147 or the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act.

On 3 November, police arrested seven persons for allegedly smuggling pieces of agar from Barangay Canal, Carigara town in Leyte. Cases have been filed against the suspect including a bribery case after they attempted to bribe police to release them.

Paulit- ulit kasi bro. Sakit sa likod. [emoji23]

Nabasa ko Organic route kasi ito kumpara sa mga chemicals na nakakasira sa water table natin.

kung gamefowl breeding/raising bro, very ideal at necessity na may damo like a well trimmed carabao grass. maging cushion kasi sa paa nila yan para hindi magka bumblefoot o tibak, then need din nila yung greens sa diet nila. need i cut palagi ang damo para lumabas at tumubo ang carabao grass. kung gagamitan mo ng weed killer at maging plain na lupa lang, ok din naman but mas ideal ang game chickens na lumaki sa damuhan

ah ganun pala iyon. doon kasi sa probinsya namin ang "weed killer" ay kambing. hehe pero tag-ulan na din ngayon kaya medyo lethargic siguro sila.

ang problema ko kasi dito lang naman sa garden namin. naiinis na ako sa mga ligaw na damo. namamatay iyong frog grass dahil sa kanila. pati na din iyong pako nadali na.

and gagamitin ko din pampatay ng langgam iyong borax bro.

Ano bang ok na way para tumubo at lumago ang lemon?

Since medyo.malakas na ako sa lemon dahil hinhalo ko sa turmeric tea, gusto ko sana mag palaki ng lemon. Since hindi endemic dito sa atin, may tips ba kayo?

Kalamansi namin walang problema, pero itong lemon talagang parati namamatay. [emoji20]

Update sa lemon tree seedlings ko:



[emoji4]

3 months old or so na din sila. Iyon nga lang may isang unidentified seedling na nakasalisi doon sa unang container. baka nalagay ng ibon. Pinalaki ko na lang din nung replant ko a few days ago. no idea what it is though.

Btw, hindi etchas ng aso iyong nasa right side ng pic. Dahon yan ng isang halaman doon. [emoji23]

the things you own end up owning you

[papi smith]

Did you plant that as seed? Or seedling [emoji271] na? And yes, dahil open garage kami, no gate, madalas ako nagulat sa dahon na akala mo ay jackpot!
