Agarwood, an aromatic dark resinous wood typically used in incense, fragrances and wood carvings, is greatly sought-after for its high intrinsic value. Many planters throughout Southeast Asia invested substantial resources into developing their capabilities to cultivate this precious wood that is also widely known as “forest liquid gold”. Our founder, Mr David Liew, is one of the pioneers in this field. He travelled extensively over the years into plantations throughout Southeast Asia to learn all about agarwood. In 2018, he successfully developed a proprietary inoculation technology comprising a vaccine and techniques to enable the formation of high-quality agarwood resin of up to 85% per tree. In 2019, David and his long-time business partner Mr Davidoff Lim established Dadvance Agarwood Solutions Sdn. Bhd. to revitalise the professional cultivation of agarwood in Malaysia and provide local agarwood planters with their breakthrough inoculation technology, thereby enabling these planters to unlock the value of their agarwood plantations.
