Why should I invest in managed forestry?
Agroforestry has been a reliable and stable "safe haven" asset class for the past 50 years, consistently outperforming stocks, bonds and fixed bank deposits. This type of asset class is quick to mature, permanently in high demand, and consistently profitable, making it one of the most secure investments to hedge against market volatility. Additionally, agroforestry is mostly uncorrelated to the financial markets, meaning it is immune to extreme volatility and market downturns. Agarwood Eco Capital offers a guaranteed tree replacement policy to mitigate risk, as well as a contractually guaranteed minimum sales price and a constantly increasing and demanding market.

What are Agarwood and Oud Oil?
Agarwood is the resinous heartwood that grows inside Aquilaria trees. Agarwood Eco Capital has Aquilaria tree plantations in Thailand and partner plantations in Malaysia, Bangladesh and Indonesia, and is one of the global market leaders in Agarwood cultivation and sales.
Agarwood is renowned for being the most valuable and expensive wood in the world, and when it is ground and distilled into oil, it is known as Oud Oil. This oil is a key ingredient in many high-end and luxurious perfumes. Due to its limited supply, demand for this precious oil is incredibly high.
Over USD 33 billion is the current market valuation for the global fragrance market, which has seen the launch of over 1,000 new fragrances each year. Christian Dior, Tom Ford, and Versace are just a few of the top fragrance houses that have incorporated Oud Oil into their premium fragrance lines.
