Interesting find (added January 25, 2009)



Sandal wood Tree, treated as a symbol of status, and purity, spreading pleasant smell throughout the area wherever they are planted, was prohibited for individuals to cultivate. Recently, the Government of Kerala has removed the ban and has permitted the public to CULTIVATE SANDALWOOD TREE WITHOUT ANY RESTRICTIONS.

Sandal wood trees are planted as usually, and it will take 15 to 20 years to grow and yield profit. Usually, at the present rates , One Kg. of Sandalwood costs, Rs. 1,200/- to Rs. 2,250/-This will be multiplied several times in the coming years, as the market for sandalwood, and its bye-products , throughout the world are increasing daily.

Sandalwood is used mainly for extraction of its oil for several cosmetics and as a main ingredient in so many Ayurvedic Products. Another main factor is that, planting Sandal wood trees is treated as a symbol of Status, and planted area will be full of pleasant and pleasing smell of the wood.
