August 14 , 2026 12 hrs 0 min 80 0

The government has released a Roadmap for Agarwood Export Promotion from the North Eastern Region (NER) to increase India’s agarwood and agarwood oil exports.
The Northeast accounts for 96.6% of India’s estimated 139.89 million agarwood trees, with Assam having the largest share.
Assam and Tripura are the major resource centres; agarwood is used in perfumes, incense and premium oud products.
The roadmap focuses on processing, advanced extraction, certification, traceability, branding and stronger global market links.
An Agarwood Export Promotion Cell was formed in May 2026 to support exporters and international market development.
Agarwood clusters are being developed in Assam and Tripura under the Prime Minister’s Development Initiative for North East Region (PM-DevINE).
