About Sandalwood
Sandalwood is one of the world’s most valuable hardwoods, selling for over A$100,000 per tonne of heartwood (Tamil Nadu Forestry Department Auctions).
Renowned for its fragrant and medicinal properties, Indian Sandalwood has a wide range of uses in the global fragrance, incense, worship and carving industries.
The Indian Sandalwood tree is a parasite, making cultivation highly specialised. This factor, alongside its strong demand in Asia, the Middle East and in the global fragrance industry, have led to the deforestation of Santalum album in its native environments of India, Indonesia and Timor.
