Plantation agarwood for the Greater China ritual market
Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Singapore-Vietnam Chinese diaspora anchor the world's largest Buddhist and Taoist ritual market plus the Traditional Chinese Medicine pharmacopeia. The volume drivers are 108-bead prayer bracelets, ceremonial chips for temple altars and TCM-grade powder for licensed pharmacies. Our Dian Bai plantation is in the heart of Guangdong, the historic Chinese agarwood region — most of our client base is domestic and re-exports to the wider Sinophone world.

Sourcing Reality
What buyers in this market actually need
108-bead prayer bracelets
The mainstay of the Chinese agarwood retail market — 108-bead malas in 6mm, 8mm, 10mm and 12mm bead sizes, drilled and strung from plantation chips. We supply both finished bracelets and raw beads to retailers in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Taipei. Sinking-grade beads command premium price tiers.
TCM and licensed pharmacy supply
Traditional Chinese Medicine pharmacies use agarwood as a registered material in over 60 classical formulations — primarily for digestive and qi-circulation indications. We ship TCM-grade powder and chips to licensed pharmacy distributors with the documentation Chinese FDA (NMPA) requires.
Plantation investment partnerships
Several mainland family offices and agricultural investment groups partner with us on plantation expansion in Hainan, Guangxi and Yunnan. We supply seedlings (Aquilaria sinensis primarily) plus inoculation technology transfer for grafting and electric-drilling protocols. Multi-year agreements.
