Indonesian plantation agarwood chips run USD 500-7,000/kg as a grade-dependent band (low-resin to super), and oud oil runs USD 30,000-80,000/kg — indicative as of 2026, with the final quote confirming grade and scope. A wide range is correct: price tracks resin content, not one fixed number.
What does the 2026 Indonesian agarwood export price list look like?
For export and wholesale volumes, agarwood is priced per kilogram, and the number you pay is set by grade. Here are the canonical bands we work from, indicative as of 2026 and always confirmed against the actual material before a firm quote is issued.
| Product | Grade span | Indicative export band (2026) | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plantation agarwood chips | Low-resin C/D → Super | USD 500-7,000/kg | Per kg, grade-dependent |
| Oud / agarwood oil | Standard → premium distillate | USD 30,000-80,000/kg | Per kg of distilled oil |
Treat these as a starting band, not a locked rate. Grade, resin content, harvest availability and buyer destination all move the final figure. Nobody credible quotes agarwood as a single price, and anyone who does is guessing.
Why is the agarwood price range so wide instead of one number?
Because agarwood is a resin, not a commodity. The more dark resin the wood holds, the denser, heavier and more fragrant it becomes — and the price climbs steeply with it. Two chips of the same species from the same island can differ tenfold once resin saturation is measured.
The 2026 market shows just how wide the gap has grown. Trade commentary this year notes that superior pure wild agarwood can reach around US$290,000/kg, while artificial or plantation material may sit near US$100/kg. Our plantation-first bands live in the practical middle of that spectrum — real, sourceable stock rather than record-setting rarities.
History confirms the drift. TRAFFIC’s report “Heart of the Matter: Agarwood Use and Trade” recorded field data from Apau Kayan in East Kalimantan back in 1997, where “super grade A” agarwood was reported at IDR 1,250,000/kg — roughly USD 450/kg at the time. Prices have climbed enormously since, but the logic is unchanged: grade sets the number.
How do retail per-10g and per-ml prices compare?
Retail buyers rarely think in kilograms, so buyer guides quote small weights. Those figures line up with our export bands once you scale them, and they help you sanity-check any offer.
| Tier | Chips (per 10 g) | What it signals |
|---|---|---|
| Low grade (C/D) | USD 5–15 | Light resin, weak float, faint aroma |
| Mid grade (B/A) | USD 20–60 | Visible veining, moderate density |
| Premium (Super A) | USD 100–300+ | Sinks in water, strong hot-plate scent |
| Natural oud oil | USD 200–1,000+ /ml | Distilled, destination-dependent |
A frequently cited comparison sharpens the wild-versus-cultivated split: wild A-grade chips at USD 50–120 per 10 g, cultivated B-grade chips at USD 20–40 per 10 g, and agarwood powder at USD 10–25 per 10 g. Our sustainable, permit-friendly sourcing leans toward the cultivated side of that table.
What actually determines an agarwood grade and its price?
Indonesian chips are commonly described across about nine grades, with the key tiers being Super A, Super B, Super C and Sabak; the remaining grades mostly denote wood size and resin quantity. These are industry conventions that vary by region and tradition — there is no official Indonesian national standard, so grading always rests on three objective tests.
| Test | Method | Higher grade means |
|---|---|---|
| Density | Water immersion | Sinks (more resin) |
| Resin saturation | Visual “tiger-stripe” veining | Black-brown streaks, not uniform plastic-black |
| Aromatic intensity | Hot-plate or steam | Stronger, deeper fragrance |
Higher resin content correlates with stronger fragrance, higher density and a higher grade. Wild agarwood from Papua and Maluku is regarded as typically superior, and East Kalimantan (notably Apau Kayan) is a documented historical wild-sourcing area — but we prioritise plantation stock, which is both more sustainable and easier to move legally.
How does legal CITES export change the price you pay?
This is where a price list stops being just numbers. Most Aquilaria and Gyrinops species are listed under CITES Appendix II, so international trade is permitted but regulated. Legal export requires a CITES export permit plus a BKSDA recommendation, and it is subject to a Non-Detriment Finding (NDF) confirming the trade will not harm wild populations. Indonesia’s 2024 NDF set a wild Aquilaria malaccensis quota of 24,110 kg.
CITES paperwork distinguishes source code W (wild) from source code P (plantation or artificially propagated). Plantation material is generally easier to permit, which is one reason our bands and our positioning are plantation-first.
To be plain: agarwoodexport.com is a sourcing broker and information hub, not a permit authority. We never sell permit certainty and never guarantee customs clearance. Always confirm the current requirements with the CITES Management Authority in Indonesia and with your import country before committing to a shipment.
How do you turn this price list into a firm export quote?
The bands above get you to a realistic budget. A confirmed quote — with grade, volume, permit pathway and freight — comes from the trade desk. Here is how a request moves:
- Send your brief. Tell us product (chips or oud oil), target grade or budget band, volume in kg, and destination country via WhatsApp or email.
- Grade and source review. We match your brief to available plantation stock and outline the realistic grade you can expect at that budget.
- Compliance walkthrough. We map the CITES permit and BKSDA recommendation pathway for your volume, and flag your import-country requirements to verify.
- Firm quote within 24 business hours. You receive an itemised offer — goods by grade, plus separate lines for permits, freight, insurance and duties.
- Confirm and proceed. Once you approve, we coordinate sourcing, documentation and logistics with vetted licensed partners.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Indonesian agarwood range from USD 500 to USD 7,000 per kilogram?
Because price tracks resin content and grade, not a fixed rate. Low-resin plantation chips sit near the bottom; sinking, tiger-striped Super grades reach the top. Market commentary in 2026 shows the gap widening further — superior pure wild material can approach US$290,000/kg while plantation stock may sit near US$100/kg. Your quote depends on the grade you actually order.
Is the agarwood price list quoted per kilogram or per 10 grams?
Both, depending on the buyer. Export and wholesale bands are quoted per kilogram — USD 500-7,000/kg for chips, USD 30,000-80,000/kg for oud oil. Retail buyers usually see per-10-gram or per-millilitre pricing: roughly USD 5–300+ per 10 g of chips and USD 200–1,000+ per ml of oil. We quote export volumes per kilogram.
How much cheaper is plantation agarwood than wild agarwood?
Substantially, and that gap is the point of a plantation-first approach. A commonly cited comparison lists wild A-grade chips at USD 50–120 per 10 g against cultivated B-grade at USD 20–40 per 10 g. Plantation material also carries source code P under CITES, which is generally easier to permit and more sustainable than wild source code W.
Does the export price include the CITES permit and shipping?
No. The band covers the goods by grade; permits, freight, insurance and duties are quoted on separate lines once scope is confirmed. Legal export requires a CITES permit and a BKSDA recommendation, and we are a sourcing broker and information hub, not a permit authority. Confirm current requirements with the CITES Management Authority in Indonesia and your import country.
How current is this 2026 Indonesian agarwood price list?
These bands are indicative as of 2026 and move with grade, harvest and demand, so treat them as a starting range rather than a locked rate. Historic context shows the drift: TRAFFIC recorded “super grade A” at IDR 1,250,000/kg (about USD 450/kg) in Apau Kayan, East Kalimantan back in 1997. A firm quote confirms grade and scope.
