The resinous wood is used as incense, for medicinal purposes, and pure resin in distilled form is used as an essential oil as well as a perfume component.
Vietnamese religious groups are obliged to bring agarwood to ceremonies at their temples in Mekong Delta communities.
THE ORIGIN OF AGARWOOD
In the process of growing under the influence of insects, pests, fungi or weather, the tree may be damaged.
Over a long period of time, where the wound accumulates for a long time, it secretes a resin/oil that spreads throughout the tree, causing the molecules to be changed and has a fragrance.

In Vietnam, agarwood is most famously known in Quang Nam and Khanh Hoa regions.
PRODUCTION PROCESS
Classification steps: Raw materials to create pure Agarwood are selected, classified and thoroughly removed from impurities before being put into a small blender, in order to optimize the aroma after the finished product.
Powder grinding: Put ingredients in a small blender, grind into powder. The temperature of the mill must be controlled or else the agarwood will be evaporated.
Exploiting agarwood after 3-5 years: The agarwood trees with good quality agarwood will be exploited, sawed close to the root for workers to cut and trim to get agarwood.
Production of clean incense sticks: Agarwood powder is mixed with vegetable glue with a sufficient ratio, combined with clean filtered water to create adhesion. The next step is to put the agarwood powder into a specialized machine and combine it with the skillful and meticulous hands of skilled workers to produce the desired product.
Microbiological agarwood culture: Using the natural stem, isolate the fungal strains into many spores, rapidly multiply the mycelium, and use the artificial environment to produce the best formula of microbial products that stimulate the production of agarwood. After that, actively drill and guide the microorganism solution into the trunk of the tree. After 3-5 years, agarwood trees accumulate in the trunk and are exploited.
Put the product into the drying room: Agarwood products are characterized by not being dried at high temperature because it will change the essential oil and lose its scent.
Caring for seedlings up to 10 years old: It takes 10 years for a mature dó bauca tree to be used to feed microbial substances into the trunk to create agarwood.
Product packaging: The dried products are transported to the packing room to stamped date and label it.
Create a nursery and propagate seedlings: It includes only fungal inoculation. In this method, fungi can be induced in the xylem of Aquilaria. Within a short period of time (2-3 hours), inducer gets transported to all the parts of the tree leading to wounds on the tree. After quite a few months, resinous wood forms around the wound in the parts of the tree like roots, trunk and branches. At the time of harvesting, the root portion will be dug out and the resin can be segregated from the Aquilaria tree.
