Plantation agarwood for the Saudi attar trade
Riyadh, Jeddah and Mecca attar houses are the world's most demanding mabsoos buyers — and the most consistent volume drivers we ship to. Saudi sourcing centres on heavy-base oud: whole or coarsely-broken Aquilaria sinensis chips, soaked in concentrated oud oil, with a deep resinous profile that sinks rather than rises on the mabkhara. Our Dian Bai plantation is calibrated specifically for this register.

Sourcing Reality
What buyers in this market actually need
What Saudi attar houses actually buy
Grade A and AAA plantation chips for daily mabkhara hospitality and Friday majlis. Mid-grade B for commercial mabsoos export. Pure oud oil at 3 % to 20 % blend levels for mid-tier Saudi attars. We rarely ship low-grade D into Saudi — the local market spots it.
Hajj and gifting season volume
Demand spikes 6 weeks before Hajj and during Ramadan, with retail mabsoos gift-tier products at USD 250–500 per 50g sealed using Grade AAA chips. Plan inventory orders 8 weeks ahead for these windows; standard 4-week lead time still holds the rest of the year.
Logistics and compliance
Jeddah port is the standard arrival for sea freight; Riyadh and Dammam for DHL and Aramex air shipments under 30 kg. CITES Appendix II export documents are issued from China side — Saudi customs requires the original certificate plus Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) registration if labelled as cosmetic / aromatherapy.
