Aquilaria and Agarwood - The market and opportunities

Aquilaria And Agarwood

The Aquilaria trees are large evergreens native to South East Asia. They grow in a wide range of soils and mature very quickly, producing flowers and seeds as early as 4 years old. If the trees are infected by either fungus or insect, the tree produces a fragrant resin known as Agarwood in order to protect and repair its self. In the wild, Agarwood can take up to 100 years to form inside the tree, using our patented inoculation process, we can produce Agarwood in the tree within 6 – 8 years.

Due to its precious value, the Aquilaria tree is registered as an endangered species by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). In respect of tree conservation, the concept of Aquilaria plantations was initially developed in Thailand, with inoculation techniques, capable of providing premium quality Agarwood comparable to the natural source.

Agarwood has a widespread and varied use going back thousands of years and was recorded in the New Testament. When distilled oil is produced which is used in perfumes and can be sold for up to $20,000 USD per kg, the oil in its purest form is known as Oud or Oudh.

Currently the demand for Agarwood and its products including Oud oil, far exceeds the available supply. Oud oil is used in some of the most expensive perfumes in the world, Lacoste, Tom Ford, Versace and Yves St Laurant. The wood its self also has many other uses such as medical, religious and is carved into many different items. Today Agarwood is recognised as the most precious wood in the world, an extremely high value with 1 kg being sold for as much as $5,000 USD.

Paulownia Tree farming Business

Paulownia tree farming business



Paulownia Plantation




1.The location

The investment is located in Bulgaria in the city of Ruse. The country 

is a EU member since 2007. Ruse is a key commercial port on the Danube
river and allows easy and cheap transport of goods by boat to the
heart of Europe.

2.The land.

Most Forestry Investments work on a  structure Land Lease contract,

however this Paulownia Investment is one of the few in the business
that sell the land itself as FREEHOLD. This  gives more security to
the Investor with the benefit of potential land  value increases
being considered for asset appreciation

3.The trees.

The trees planted are Paulownia Tomentosa. They grow very well in the

Bulgarian climate. The plantation management company work with
forecast data - expected growth, speed of growth and volume of
harvested timber from a tree. The Paulownia tree species was imported
into Bulgaria about 20 years ago. Similar trees planted 10 - 15 years
ago are really huge. A tree like that has more than 2.5 - 3 cubic
meters of timber and they have  been planted as decorative trees. The
forecasts are to get 1 cubic meter raw timber from a tree. Past
performance from a similar Paulownia plantation (8 years of age)
harvest exceeded 1 cubic meter per tree.

4.The timber and its applications

Paulownia timber

*It is a hard wood -  like oak and walnut. It is ideal for furniture

manufacturers.

*It has better insulation qualities than any other wood and it does not

rot. That makes it ideal for wooden house manufacturers and parquet
floor manufacturers.

*It grows tall and straight and is ideal for straight beams for building

*because of the size of its leaves the tree produces several times more oxygen than most plants and absorbs more carbon-dioxide.

5.Planting and growing the plantation

Tree planting takes place in early spring before the leaves come out. By

the end of the first year most of the trees reach 2.5 - 3 meters
high. But what is most important is the roots to go as deep as
possible. The deeper the roots get - the faster the tree grows.


Pruning trees from the bottom in the beginning of the second year and
by the end of it they are nearly as high again as the rest that have
not been cut. And it is because the roots are as deep as the rest.
The first year is extremely important to water the plants everyday -
in summer twice a day!

Pruning is very important to get high and straight trees. From the 

fourth year the trees need only to get thicker.

6.Security of plantations

Surrounding the plantations with fences and provide a land guard. The 

ground between the trees is regularly cleared from grass to prevent fire

7.Company registration

There are two lawyers that deal with the company registrations and 

prepare all necessary paperwork.

*Registration in Bulgaria: The lawyer fills in all necessary application papers for the company registration. As these forms go directly into 

the Bulgarian company registrar they need to be completed in Bulgarian. 

A translator translates them all to the client before he signs them.
Then they are deposited with the registrar. A bank account is opened forthe new company and all payments the client needs to complete will go 

through it.

*Registration when the client does not come to Bulgaria: The lawyer

fills in all necessary application papers for the company
registration. All forms are emailed to the client and he has to print
them out and go to the nearest Bulgarian embassy in the investors
Country of Residence and sign them there. All expenses at the embassy
are chargeable to the investor.

  


Then the investor sends the forms to the Plantation Management team by

mail. Once the forms arrive the Bulgarian lawyers they are deposited
with the registrar and the company account is opened. In this case
there are additional Power of attorneys to let the management company
represent the investor before the registrar and deposit the papers on
the investors behalf and register the company bank account.


8.Land title

Once the company is registered and the money is paid the land title is

transferred to the investors new company. This is done with a local 
Notary. The title deed is written by the notary and both the seller 
and the buyer need to sign it in front of the notary. The notary
signs it as well and then he deposits it in court where the title is
transferred to the buyer. It takes from 2 days to 2 weeks sometimes.
If the client (as the owner of the company) cannot be present he can
be represented using power of attorney to buy his land on his behalf
and transfer the title to the newly formed company.

9.Payment options

Option 1 - The whole amount is paid by the client when he signs the

contracts and the papers for the company. When paying in this way the
seller will allow a discretionary discount on investment. Details
available by request.

Option 2 - With deposit and installments - 30 % deposit is paid at 

signing the contract. The rest is divided into 35 equal monthly 

installments due the 1st of every month. The legal transfer of the titlewill be done after the last installment is paid! Many investors prefer 

this option because they do not pay all the money at once. The investor

can sign the contract and get things started without visiting
Bulgaria at the start, Investors can plan their visit to a time that
suites them best and see their plantation already planted and grown.

Option 3 - Only with installments - as option 2 but without the 30%

deposit. The seller does not offer this option all the time! It is 

available only from June to December for plots that will be planted nextyear March - April! This allows the clients account to accumulate at 

least part of the money necessary for planting!

10.Power of attorney

Two types of power of attorney:

*necessary for bank accounts

*necessary for registering the company and transferring the land title



Forward Purchase Contract, of the harvested Paulownia timber is providedby the plantation management company. This means that your harvest is 

guaranteed a buyer. Further details are available on request.


So you like the idea of having your own timber producing fully

legitimate Company. What you will find of real interest is the entry
level for investment is well within reach. Denominated in £ sterling
or Euro's every investor with a little put aside receiving little
interest could participate in a long term lucrative venture.

Wood - Nature's Genius

Wood - nature's genius

Are you also fed up?

Fed up with being told that everything is going to hell?

What with CO2, the greenhouse effect, flooding, drought, hunger, exhaustion of natural resources, mountains of rubbish, and the pure hell of toxic pollution.

Well, don’t worry because there is a solution, wood.

Yes, trees and wood products are the way forward because wood is the world’s most environmentally friendly raw material.

Get this. Trees and forests are a source of raw material that grow every year, and forests are much prettier than coal mines and oil drilling platforms, but you may ask isn't it wrong to cut down trees? No, luckily cutting down trees is absolutely fine if forests are managed with the purpose of producing wood for manufacture and when we cut down trees, new ones are planted in their place. Furthermore, plantation forest areas are expanding; increasingly increasing by many 000's square kilometers each year.

Wood products are also healthier for the climate because trees take CO2 out of the atmosphere and store it in their trunks, then later in wood products. So, we are reducing the greenhouse effect every time we use wood in houses, bridges, furniture, and cars, and when you dispose of wood products the story still isn't quite over, burn them, for there’s energy stored in the wood, and by doing so you release only as much CO2 as the tree consumed when it grew thus replacing the use of coal, oil and gas, preventing CO2 emissions and resulting in no waste which is why wood is the world’s most environmentally friendly raw material; a resource that both grows and produces clean energy instead of waste which is more than you can say about metal or plastic, concrete, coal, oil and gas now isn't it.

So use wood for wood is good.

Invest in wood for wood is good

WHY PAULOWNIA, THE PRINCESS TREE

Strength - Known in the industry as the "Aluminium of Timbers", Paulownia is 30% lighter than any comparable hardwood, it is durable, strong, twist / warp-resistant and virtually rot free, very low thermal conductivity.

Growth Speed - The Princess Tree is known as the fastest growing hardwood in the world /reaches 25 – 30 m height and 70 – 80 cm. thick/ and in comparison to other timbers can be harvested in a quarter of the time /7 – 10 years/. Studies on various existing plantations have shown that the Paulownia produces an average of at least one cubic meter of processed timber per 10 year old tree.

Care and Treatment – The first three years the tree needs a lot of water and regular pruning. There are no special treatments after that. Because the tree regenerates from its roots, and does not deplete soil quality, it will re-grow to be harvested again, and so on every 7 - 10 years.

Investment Value - As an asset class, timber has consistently out-performed most stocks and commodities for the last 100 years, including oil, gas and gold. Its price on the European market is 300 EURO – 500 EURO m3.

Supply & Demand - Paulownia is native to China and the Far East and has been used in Japan for centuries as a furniture wood; chests of drawers called “Tansu” are made from this wood and nearly every Japanese home has one. Paulownia timber is currently being developed into an efficient and valuable biomass fuel.

Carbon Sequestration - Paulownia absorbs more CO2 than any other plantation tree. 

Environmental Regeneration Quality - Paulownia’s deep running roots increase the organic content of degraded soils by processing and filtering contaminants through the uptake of its vascular system, also protecting the land from soil erosion and maintains watersheds.

Physical properties of Paulownia:

• Paulownia is light weight 17 to 21lbs per cubic foot as compared to Appalachian Red Oak at 39 to 41 lbs per cubic foot.

• Paulownia air dries in 30 to 60 days without cupping, warping, cracking or splitting. Kiln drying takes 36 to 60 hours depending on Dry kiln configuration, horsepower and dimension of lumber.

• Paulownia is resistant to decay and rotting provided it is not in permanent contact with the ground.

• Paulownia species vary in porosity according to Variety but range from 75 to 88% in comparison with poplar 70 to 72%.

• Fire resistance is a feature of all Paulownia, Ignition temp 420 to 430 deg Celsius as compared to Average hardwood at 220 to 225 deg Celsius.

• Density of Paulownia species @10% moisture content ranges from 17.8 to 23.2 depending on Variety and growing conditions.

• Thermal conductivity of Paulownia is very low thus giving it excellent heat/cool insulation properties.

• Chemical composition of Paulownia Varieties: Hemicellulose Pentozan 22 to 25%. Cellulose 46 to 49%. Lignin 21 to 23% Water 7 to 8% Ash .50 to 1.1% Fiber 58.5 to 60.1%

Tree Farms Are Becoming a Popular Investment.

Tree Farms Are Becoming a Popular Investment.

An area that is planted with trees for the purpose of producing timber is known as a tree farm. Tree farms are usually owned on a private basis and can refer not only to forests but to plantations and tree nurseries too. Both plantations and tree nurseries refer to places where trees are grown, for sale to commercial endeavours or retail markets.

Tree farms start with the planting of saplings, which are leaves that are either harvested or have been naturally dropped from trees. The investors then wait for these saplings to grow into trees. 

When the trees mature, they are harvested for wood and also for more saplings, which are then used to replace the trees that have been cut down, to grow a new generation of trees. This

process of regeneration can be repeated indefinitely so that a constant supply of trees is produced without the need for adding more land to the tree farm. This, in turn, serves to protect the environment as the area surrounding a tree farm can be conserved and maintained for its original purposes.

Those who invest in tree farms have the choice of the size and type of trees they plant. Some investors prefer to plant larger trees as these trees yield more timber per sapling while most investors in tree farms prefer planting smaller trees as the amount of wood or trunk as compared to the amount of leaves is less, and all the wood can more easily be harvested from the ground.

There are many different types of trees that can be planted in tree farms and the type of tree that an investor plants depends on the needs of the investor and the type of return that is desired.

One of the more popular trees used in tree farms is the Eucalyptus tree . Eucalyptus has a high density and is used extensively for paper pulp and increasingly Biomass. The wood has a quick growth cycle and is perfectly suited to most tropical environments.

Bamboo is the wood of choice for many forestry related investors. One of the main advantages of using Bamboo for a sustainable source of energy is the rate at which it can grow. As the fastest developing land plant in the world, a bamboo stump can renew itself in just 50 days after harvest making it a far quicker source of material than alternatives such as tree stumps and branches.

Furthermore, the water efficient method that Bamboo uses to grow and its ability to regenerate for an average of 25 years ensures that management costs are significantly lower creating a greater opportunity for return.

In addition, Bamboo Biomass requires a relatively lower temperature to process therefore further improving cost efficiency of producing new forms of energy. With consistent and rising demand, and with a ready-made market for this wood, it is easy to see why the Bamboo tree is a popular investment.

One of the more popular trees used in tree farms is the Teak tree Tectona Grandis. Teak is a tropical tree renowned for its grain quality that produces durable hardwood used extensively in furniture; house building, and yachts. Growing demand for teak wood, coupled with limited international supply, suggests that increases in teak prices should continue steadily. 

New Teak Forestry Plantations generally have a growing cycle between 20-25 years as the plantation is fully managed and use new practices to help with biological growth. However, many Teak investors buy in to a standing teak plantation where the trees are already established and the cycle from purchase to harvest is 10 years.

When investing in tree farms, an investor needs to carefully investigate and research the situation in order to determine which size and type of tree best suits their investing requirements. Here at Silvinvest, we have numerous options to prosper from tree production. Request a brochure: Teak, Agarwood, Eucalyptus, Bamboo and Paulownia products available.

Teak Investing - Key Facts and Opportunities

Look in the Right Places and Money Does Grow on Trees

Although few investors realise it, timber has outperformed the stock market significantly over time the last 30 years. Of course, there’s a simple fundamental driving this out-performance for timber – biology. No matter what’s going on in the world or the markets, trees keep growing. This annual growth provides a natural hedge against inflation. The conclusion for many is that timber investments provide a great tool to diversify portfolios and immediately owning trees becomes a very interesting proposition.

Teak is one of the most durable, robust and sought after tropical hardwoods. The global shortage continues to drive the supply/demand deficit and has lead to what is widely regarded as one of the few consistently high yielding low risk commercial opportunities.

Black Gold - Supply and Demand

In many parts of the world the natural forests are the primary source of wood for heating and cooking. This places strains on the natural habitat and also indirectly accounts for large amounts of annual carbon emissions. With world population increasing at a rapid rate, deforestation will increase automatically. Supply and demand issues mean that investments into plantation forestry will have an important part to play, both now and especially in the future to meet demand for any wood related products or usage. It is important to note that Timber is the third biggest traded commodity and industry after Oil and Gas. Over $200 Billion and rising. Investing into forestry can be a wise choice for the adventurous investor and returns on investment are almost guaranteed due to natural economics.

Points To Consider When Choosing An Agarwood Investment Company

Points To Consider When Choosing An Agarwood Investment Company

The high returns of forestry investments in recent years have made such propositions much more attractive to a wider range of individuals and pension companies alike. 

As more traditional markets are burdened by volatility and low returns, the demand for more innovative prospects that are not correlated to the general stock exchange or bonds is becoming much greater. However, in finding the hidden opportunities that are available, such as investment in Agarwood, it is essential that every investor ensures the product provider chosen has industry recognised credentials.

Look For Recognised Affiliations

Though a company may operate in a niche market, a previous positive reputation is essential when making the decision to invest. By choosing a company that has a track record, it is possible to experience more certainty that the investment is a viable and profitable one.

Though many Agarwood Investment Companies are in their infancy, look out for organisations that are part of much larger corporations that provide the experience and backing that will generate more stability for the investment as a whole.

Be Specific In Agarwood Plantation Requirements

As investments can be made from anywhere in the world, it is vital that the people on the ground managing the Agarwood plantation have the expertise and know how to ensure that all returns are fully maximised. Though it is possible to choose an individual plantation manager to work on site, it is usually more beneficial to find an Agarwood plantation which has a qualified management team in situ who are experienced in the area and have a stronger vested interest in its overall success.

In the case of Oud production, most plantations will manage the entire process from the initial sowing of the seeds through to oil extraction. Only by selecting a team with a proven history of high quality oud oil production will it be possible to have confidence in the plantation and maximise the investment made. Furthermore, look at the location of the plantations themselves. Ensure it is in an area where the trees that create the Agarwood are going to thrive, native to its surroundings. This should be a warm, humid environment such as Thailand and Cambodia where the climate is perfect for this type of tree to grow. 

Ensure that the plantation is question has certification by CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) or a related accreditation which will allow it to market the Agarwood and resulting Oud oil across the globe and achieve the best possible results and grading.

Look For Guaranteed Investment Return

Due to the massive demand of Oud oil, many plantations requiring investment will offer a guaranteed rate of return. The companies seek development capital to expand the plantations and once the trees are ready for oud oil extraction, they will purchase the trees back from you, the investor. Look out for guaranteed minimum returns of 72% over a medium term of 6 years to achieve overall Capital Growth in such a rapidly developing and sustainable market.
