Our Agarwood Plantations

500+ hectares of cultivated Aquilaria across southern China.

OudLink operates Aquilaria sinensis plantations across Maoming, Guangdong (HQ + primary cultivation) and Hainan (auxiliary planting). All plantings are CITES-registered, traceable to specific plots, and managed under a long-cycle replanting program so each harvested area returns to production within the next decade. Total cultivation extends across hundreds of hectares of red-earth hill terrain.

Five Locations, One Standard

OudLink operates plantations across Maoming, Zhanjiang, Leizhou, Zhaoqing, and Hainan — each chosen for ideal climate, soil, and access to skilled cultivators.

Together, these sites give us the scale to serve global demand without ever resorting to wild-harvested material.

Maoming primary plantation

Our Maoming HQ sits on red-earth hill slopes whose lateritic soil and subtropical climate suit Aquilaria sinensis. Original plantings from 2008 have matured into the first commercial harvest cohort; subsequent plantings expand the productive area on a rolling basis. Maoming hosts the distillation facility, sorting halls, sapling nursery, and CITES export office.

Hainan auxiliary planting

Hainan's tropical climate produces a slightly different terroir — Aquilaria sinensis grown there develops a distinct resin profile compared to Maoming stock. We use Hainan plantings as a complementary supply for buyers who specifically request the regional character.

Long-cycle replanting

Aquilaria takes years to reach commercial maturity. Every harvested plot is replanted within the year, and the sapling nursery maintains stock for plantings that will mature in the next 5–15 years. The intent is a continuous-yield operation rather than a series of extractive harvests.

Frequently Asked Questions

How large are OudLink's plantations?
Combined Maoming and Hainan area extends across hundreds of hectares of cultivated Aquilaria sinensis. Specific plot sizes vary by stand age and harvest cycle; details available to qualified buyers under NDA.
Can I visit a plantation?
Yes, by prior arrangement for qualified wholesale buyers. Visits typically combine Maoming HQ, distillation facility, and the closest mature plot. Email info@oudlink.com two weeks ahead.
How long until a sapling produces agarwood?
Aquilaria sinensis can be induced to begin resin formation from around 7–10 years; mature high-grade chips and oils typically come from trees aged 15+ years. Premium sinking-grade material wants longer.
How is resin formation induced on plantation?
Controlled wounding combined with specific microbial inoculation triggers the tree's defensive resin response. Methods are proprietary and refined over the years through our cultivation R&D.
Are the plantations organic-certified?
We follow integrated pest management with minimal synthetic input. Formal organic certification is a 2026 program goal; current operations meet most organic-standard requirements but the certificate itself is in process.
