If you are told that the price of wood of a tree is more than gold, then you may not believe it. But this is absolutely true. There is a tree in the world whose wood is sold much more expensive than gold. Right now you can buy one kg of gold for about 43 lakh rupees, but for the wood of this tree you will have to pay 73 lakh 50 thousand rupees.
It is not a common tree. Its name is Agarwood. Agarwood wood is called ‘Woods of the God’. You can only guess what its importance is. The price of real wood of agarwood is up to 1 lakh dollars (about 73 lakh 50 thousand rupees) per kilogram. This tree is found in the rain forests of Southeast Asia. However, now its number has reduced considerably.
Agarwood is prepared after a process inside a particular tree.
Agarwood is not the name of any tree. In a certain type of tree, agarwood is prepared after a long process. This tree is called Aqualaria Melasancy. Mold (a type of fungus) infects this tree or when the animals uproot it, a process begins in it, called Phylophora parasitica. A dark colored part is formed inside the tree. This process takes a lot of time. After the process of Phyllophora parasitica, the wood of agarwood is prepared in the tree of Aquaria. In other words, when part of the tree starts getting spoiled by bacteria, fungus, insects, pests and saliva of the birds. The tree fills its wounds with its juice. This process goes on for a long time and the inner part of the tree turns into agarwood.
In Middle East countries, guests are used for Navaji
When agarwood is formed inside the tree, then the tree is cut down. After this, its part is separated and the darker part is removed and separated. This process is done by hand and takes several hours. Small parts of it are used as incense. In the Middle East countries small portions are lit for guest Navaji and used as perfumes on clothes.
The oil made from it is called liquid gold
Those who cultivate agarwood say that no one can make the world equal to the aroma of its incense. They say that after one burn, its aroma gradually becomes sweet. Its slight smoke can keep a closed room fragrant for at least four to five hours. Oil is also made from Ood Chips, which costs up to 80 thousand dollars per liter. Due to its price, traders call it liquid gold. Now its popularity in western countries is also increasing very fast. Now there are big brands selling cents and perfumes made from it, which cost a lot.
These trees are in serious danger category
Now the number of these trees is decreasing due to different reasons. It has now been placed in the category of critically indangerd. Experts say that the number of these trees has decreased by 80 percent in the last 150 years. Among the remaining trees, the rate of natural fungal infection has reduced significantly. Experts say that only two percent of the trees have natural infection in the remaining trees. Searching for them in the forest is also a difficult task. Amidst the dangers, people search for the tree for several days, but it is not guaranteed to be found. Many times we have to return empty handed.
Artificially prepared agarwood
Trees are becoming fewer or say that there are no leftovers. In such a situation, it is now being made in a sophisticated manner. People associated with its industry say that its quality is less in front of natural agarwood. Natural agarwood is 100 times more expensive than a masterpiece. The man prepares the work, so its price is low.
Business worth $ 32 billion
The discussion of Agarwood is also found in mythological books around the world. It has been mentioned there as a luxury product. It is also mentioned in the Indian Vedas. Apart from this, it is also found in the books and history of other religions of the world. Agarwood currently has a worldwide business of $ 32 billion. Rising demand has increased its production, not just the prices. It is estimated that by 2029 its trade will reach 64 billion dollars.
Need will remain
People associated with its business describe it as an asset. According to demand, production is not being done. Its demand is increasing. This is the reason why it is being prepared in other countries. It is also being used in many other things, from oil, cents, incense, bracelets and necklaces. Experts say that for the same reasons, there will be a need for it.
