Associated Institutions & Expert Collaboration
At KANZ International, our success is built on adherence to best practices, scientific innovation, and cooperation with established research and grower institutions across India. Our commitment to high-yield, sustainable Agarwood cultivation is strengthened by aligning with prominent bodies in the field.
Prominent Institutions in India
We recognize the essential role of government, research, and expert bodies in ensuring the legitimacy and quality of the Agarwood industry in India.
* CSIR-North East Institute of Science and Technology (NEIST), Jorhat, Assam: Given that our project locations include the Golaghat region (the traditional heartland of Agarwood cultivation in India), the research carried out by CSIR-NEIST—especially on traditional cultivation and management practices—forms a valuable knowledge base for our operations.
* National Medicinal Plants Board (NMPB), Department of AYUSH, Govt. of India: The NMPB plays a crucial role in promoting the cultivation of high-value medicinal plants like Aquilaria malaccensis (Agarwood). Our adherence to suggested cultivation guidelines and legal standards aligns with the NMPB’s mandate for quality and sustainable growth.
* Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEF&CC) & CITES Authorities: Agarwood (Aquilaria malaccensis) is listed under CITES Appendix II. KANZ International fully complies with all trade regulations, working within the framework established by the Botanical Survey of India (BSI) and the Forest Department to ensure the legal, documented, and sustainable sourcing of our artificially propagated Agarwood.
🌴 Key Associations in Kerala
Kerala, with its supportive climate and growing expertise, is becoming a significant hub for Agarwood cultivation, providing us with technical innovation and regional logistical support.
* Agronomic Research Groups & Private Grower Associations: Kerala is home to various private research and plantation companies (such as Agarwoods Kerala Plantations and Awk Research India) that focus on developing and implementing advanced artificial inoculation techniques. KANZ International leverages this regional expertise and specialized knowledge base to refine our own scientific methodologies.
* Kerala Agricultural University (KAU) / Research Insights: While KAU covers a wide spectrum of agriculture, the academic and research publications stemming from institutions like this provide invaluable data on Aquilaria cultivation, intercropping suitability, and soil health management relevant to our operations in South India.
> Our Pledge: Association with and awareness of these prominent institutions ensures that KANZ International maintains the highest standards of legal compliance, scientific methodology, and sustainable harvesting for every investor tree.
